Casting Call { REAL people wanted for an exciting new project }

I have had an idea in my head for some time now, you know one of those ideas that just won't go away. Well I've decided to bite the bullet and launch my new (and very exciting) project in 2011. I do, however need your help.

I need models. Not models in the sense you think I mean (no super skinny waifs, do they really exist anyway) but I am looking for REAL people. You know, people like you and me.

I am ideally looking for people with a story. Maybe you have had a life changing experience, started a successful business, battled an illness, met the man of your dreams. The list is endless. The project will eventually be supporting Breast Cancer Awareness with a proportion of the session fee going to support their fantastic work. So, if you have battled breast cancer or know someone who has then I would especially like to hear from you.

Young, old, voluptuous or petite, it matters not. You maybe have a group of girlfriends who would enjoy a touch of pampering for an hour or so. You may even be a couple who are up for some original ideas.

All I will say is that this will not be your usual point, say cheese and shoot session - that's just not the way I work. I want to create images that show the real you, your real expressions and your personality. You need to be comfortable with a bit of creativity and happy to go with my (what may seem like odd) ideas. I will say now, for the record, "I HATE HAVING MY PHOTO TAKEN" so I will be gentle with you, promise.

So, what's in it for you? I will not charge you a bean, not one single one. I will post all of your edited images online after the session and you can pick your favourite 2 images to have as digital files. You must be happy for me to use the images in my portfolio and website (you will need to sign a model release form). All of the sessions will take place in South Wales so you must either live in the area or be happy to travel.

I am also looking for a make-up artist and hairdresser in South Wales who might be interested in assisting in this new project - if you know anyone then please send them my way.

If you would be interested in taking part or would just like a chat about my plans then please either give me a call on 07852 255 766 or drop me a line by clicking here. Please be sure to explain why you feel you would be perfect as a model for this project, perhaps telling me a little about your story. Closing date for applications is 31st December 2010.

I look forward to hearing from you.
