Still Casting... Marilyn Inspired Indoor Shoot. Maybe Upto Implied - Trade

NSFW

This casting is still open for the right model... Is that you? Please read the casting carefully before replying, so that we don't waste each other's time.

Having always been a fan of the gorgeous Marilyn Monroe, I have always loved the idea of doing a Marilyn inspired shoot. I don't necessarily want to do a Marilyn lookalike shoot, just copy the poses, the flavour and the feel of the Marilyn shoots. So, you don't need to be blonde with alabaster skin. Below is a contact sheet with an example of some ideas. I want to get as close to the feel as we can. I have collected a lot of images for inspiration, of which below is just a small sample.

I have stated upto implied, but we can work to suit your particular level. I have cast this as a collaboration, as this is a personal project rather than for commercial intent. I will pay expenses. I might also consider a part TF to the right model. I don't usually give RAW unedited images, but this might also be negotiable to the right person. I would also prefer to travel to you (within Essex and 1 hour drive from Basildon), but can shoot from home if needs be, so please bear this in mind before replying.

As for the right candidate, I am not sure whom that might be. I will know if you are right when I see your portfolio, although I would prefer you to be aged under 40 and under a size 12. If you are interested then please do drop me a line and let me see if your profile 'speaks' to me re the project. Your stats and ethnicity is not important, nor is experience. I may even shoot the project with various models, if the response is good. However, please do not be offended if I do not offer to work with you on this particular shoot. This might suit a new model starting a portfolio, as I am generous with the number of images shared.

Also, although it is widely believed that Marilyn was a plus size model, this is, in fact, a myth. She simply had a classic hour glass figure. Here are her statistics from her modelling profile in 1945:

August 2, 1945
Blue Book Modeling Agency
5’ 6”, 120lbs
36-24-34

This is around an 8-10 UK size

I look forward to hearing from you and, maybe, working with you soon :)
