From time to time I will hold a 'casting call' for specific models, such as German Shepherd pups, pure black horses, twin girls in white dresses, men/women willing to model for a themed photo shoot like Snow White & Prince Charming, or even 8-year-old boys & their furry best friends. Photo sessions like this are for my fine-art projects, photo product lines, stock agency work, and my submissions to both print & online publications. Images from these casting call photo sessions may appear in ads, in calendars or photo books, in magazines, on photo/art merchandise for sale, or in my very own promotional materials.
How does this work? I will post on my Facebook page the details for my casting call; such as a certain breed of dog, a new bride willing to trash-her-dress, a Gothic couple for a Halloween themed session, etc. Potential models, or [fur]parents of, will then be able to submit information about their 'fur kid', child, or about themselves. Once my assistant and I choose our casting call models, we will arrange a date & time for the photo session.
What do you get? A 1.5 hour super awesome photo shoot (and experience) at a fabulous location of my choice, or the 'perfect spot' according to your pet's needs. My regular portrait session commission fee is waived, and within 2-weeks of the photo session, a handful of gorgeous edited (lightly retouched & artistically enhanced) images (approximately 5 - 7) will be uploaded to a private online album for 14-days where models, or [fur]parents of can download high resolution digital files of select images from the photo session. Models, or [fur]parents of can have unlimited prints made (up to 11x14 size) at their fav photo lab. {there is no obligation to buy any merchandise from me/no ordering requirements} The selection of online album images are chosen by me, the photographer, according to their artistic merit.
What you need to do? Follow ('like') my Facebook page so you can watch for my casting call post(s). When I ask for a specific model, or models, leave a comment on my Facebook page, under the post, regarding your interest to participate; and then follow the directions in my 'casting call' post. Next, sit back and nervously wait to see if you, your child, or your 'fur baby' makes the cut. If chosen, you, your child, or your 'fur baby' can sing, jump, shout, howl, skip, or run around in circles with heaps of joy. If you, your child, or your 'fur baby' aren't/isn't chosen, don't fret, keep watching for my next casting call post and keep your fingers, paws, hooves, and wings crossed.
