If you don't have a space you should still reach out and we can shoot outdoors when the weather is better next month.
I'm getting reintegrated into shooting after stepping away for a while and just want to dive into it. The weather's too unpredictable to start shooting outside just yet and booking studio time only to have models flake last minute has been frustrating to say the least. This way there's less moving parts and middle-men and instead of paying the studio I pay you extra for providing the venue. Had great experiences shooting at the rooftop of City Market and common areas in The Eliot previously.
The goal is to create high-quality, brand-attractive shots with the long-term goal of pitching content to products, lifestyle brands, and future collaborations. If we work well together and get good shots I will 100% be hitting you up first to work together in the future.
This is a paid shoot with equal rights to the images for reposting, using for portfolio building, etc.
Ideally you can do your own makeup and have 2-3 outfits total to change between. You providing the venue also gives you the chance to use props familiar to you (e.g. instruments, yoga , your hobbies, your work area).
Feel free to have your best friend, boyfriend, or dog present. Dogs especially.

Compensation
• $80 - $150 for 2 hours depending on experience
• Cash or Venmo
• Based directly on: 1) Legit experience posing (portfolio), 2) ability to provide a venue, 3) distance I have to travel to you.
Examples:
- Model A lives within 30 minutes of me, has a portfolio of past shoots and already knows how to pose, has a great look that I want to add to my portfolio, and she has an awesome loft apartment space with plenty of light: full $150
- Model B lives across Nova / MD, has never shot and no portfolio so needs plenty of posing guidance, just an IG full of decent candid shots and selfies that show me he has a cool vibe I want to shoot, and suggests shooting outside in Blagden Alley: $80
- Model C has a great rooftop hangout space in her building, no portfolio but knows basic poses and takes direction well: $100
- Model D doesn't have an IG and doesn't care about shooting, just wants easy cash. Ignores instructions not to email and hits me up saying "yo im interested." Doesn't even attach a picture. $0.00
