It is my intention over the next few weeks to announce big changes taking place over here at Laura Lee Photography. I will be releasing information about new products I'll be offering as well as sales, contests, events or mini sessions I'll be setting up over the year. I'll start the announcements off with a bang by announcing my special women's project!
Most of you already know that I have launched my search for models to begin work on a project. I have had an overwhelming amount of applicants. I guess I wasn't expecting such a huge response...but it makes me happy! Sure, it will make it VERY difficult to narrow over a hundred beautiful women down to only a dozen, but it has to be done. I wish I could work with all of you! I am still taking applicants so please apply if you haven't already and share this model search with your besties so they can have a chance too! I do not want to release a lot of information right now as I want this project to remain a surprise for the time being, but this is what I CAN tell you...
I am working on a project focused on women. I will be looking for about 12 women to be models in my uniquely styled sessions. Some sessions will be larger than others. I will have a hair and make up artist on set for sessions that require it. (I already have an amazing hair & makeup artist, but I may need a back up in case Liz becomes unavailable. Email me if you're interested in volunteering for my project along with a few portfolio examples.) For models: I want women of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds and ethnicity. I highly encourage women with very unique looks to apply. The themes I am creating are very distinct and models will be chosen strictly on the fact that their physical appearance matches the theme or look I'm trying to achieve.
Remember, these are my visions and my themes so models need to understand that I am going for a very specific look so having an open mind receptive of awesome creativity is a must! The themes will be fun and inspiring. If you are chosen, I will present you with the theme you fit as well as a list of acceptable clothing you will need to acquire. You will also be told the location I intend to shoot this session as well as what types of poses I will be looking to do. If you do not like the theme or cannot provide the clothing, please let me know so I can find another match.
I am starting this search now to give plenty of time for everyone to apply that would like to...as well as find the perfect matches to my themes where some are still in the creative process. I will announce the matches sometime in April and do not see the project starting until May or June.
DETAILS:
~ I am looking for women preferably between the ages of 21 and 55. If you are outside of this age range, it is ok to still apply and if you have a look I'm going for, I will definitely choose you. The themes for these sessions are for women so I don't feel very, young teenagers will fit my project, though you are still welcomed to apply...I may be able to use you in a future project.
~ Hair length/color, eye color, skin color and weight are not specific. If chosen, extreme hair color changes prior to the session is not advised as it may prevent you from matching the theme I paired you with.
~ You need to be comfortable in front of a camera and capable of taking direction on posing. You also need to be comfortable in your own skin and with who you are. Confidence shows in front of the camera.
~ Most of these sessions will be outside and in very public places (like a busy Main St for example) so you need to be ok with being stared at while on-location hahaha like you're famous : )
~ Models will most likely need to provide the clothing and shoes.
~ The sessions are free as well as the makeovers if they require one. (A $250 value!) Prints, products and digital files are available for purchase from your session through a private online gallery you will be provided. The project will be shared through Facebook, my website and my blog.
TO APPLY: Please email me at lauraleephotographymaine@gmail.com and provide me with at least 5 images of how you currently look. I need at least one full length and one close up. They do not need to be professional photos. This is just so I can get an idea of what you look like. A variety is nice as well (i.e. hair up and down, with/without makeup). You will receive a confirmation email from me and another one in the next couple of months whether you are chosen or not.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the Comment section below. Answers will be posted and will be helpful to others since most of you will have similar questions. Please consider sharing this blog post to help me spread the word of my search! It would be much appreciated : )
