.. Casting Call - Instructions for Submission :.

First and foremost - you MUST be 18 years of age! Some of fine art photos I create contain nudity. In compliance with "Crimes and Criminal Procedure - 18 USC Section 2252" I will NOT photograph minors nude. Additionally models that I work with will be required to sign a model release. And since in the United States minors are not allowed to enter into a legally binding contracts, 18 is minimum age for any models I work with on personal art projects. You will be required to show a government issued ID such as drivers license or passport as proof of age before the shoot.

I ask that models wishing to participate fill out a submission form with their stats and submit several recent photos, perferably a set of profile shots as shown below. It helps me to choose the best models for the particular images I create. It is also quite helpful as reference to show hair/wardrobe stylists, makeup artists and other creative people involved with shoot in advance to help everyone prepare. Don't be dissapointed if you are not chosen for a specific project. Once you have submitted your stats and photo I will keep it on file for consideration on future projects.

.. Model Profile Photos .

It is preferable to submit a set of profile shots as depicted in the illustrations below. These don't need to be professional photos. In fact you can easily have a friend take them for you with any digital camera provided you adhere to the following guidelines.

• Photos should be taken against a neutral, uncluttered background. A plain white wall works well.
• Model should NOT be wearing makeup or foundation of any kind.
• Model should wear a bikini or bra and panties. Bra/bikini top should NOT contain any padding. Sports bras are not recommended as they flatten the chest and do not show the models shape very well.
• Camera should be about chest height and level throughout the series of photos. Using a tripod or placing the camera on a steady surface is recommended.
• Lighting should be even so that the resulting photos do not look to light/dark.
• Should include both full body and head shots from the front back and sides.
• Hair should be up to clearly show the features of the face.
• Model should refrain from smiling during the photos. However it is recommended to include a single head shot with the model's hair down and smiling.
• Arms should be held slightly away from the body to accurately show the shape of model's torso and thighs.
