South coast photoshoots - 10/11th Aug - Fashion to swimwear..........

This is a re-up of a casting I put up yesterday, there was a problem with casting notifications yesterday/earlier today on here, which limited it's reach, hence re-posting today. If you applied to yesterday's casting no need to re-apply, I will get to your message and I will definitely reply shortly.

I'm planning to head down to somewhere on the South Coast area the weekend of 10th & 11th August 2019 and I'd like to try and fit a few photoshoots in whilst there. I haven't picked the specific area yet as I wanted to cast out to see what the options are, who's available and interested in working with me, hence this is a fairly broad area casting call.

With so many models in these areas that I haven't had the chance to work with yet, along with a number of models I'd love to work with again, I figured a casting call to see whose available was the best approach!!

I'm thinking outdoor location shoots, as it will be summer it's obviously going to be glorious weather...........famous last words!!

As a general idea, I want these shoots to focus on fashion to swimwear. Not necessarily all on the same shoot, but if we were to book in a beach/seafront shoot then at the very least I'd want to cover swimwear as well as some beach-inspired fashion. If not a beach shoot then I'd want the photoshoot to be exclusively fashion. I am flexible and in all honesty I prefer to tailor a specific shootplan and style with the successful model/s. 

I'm also looking to work on more dance-themed photoshoots as well, so if this is something you have experience in, and would like to apply on that basis, please mention when applying.

Whilst I haven't yet identified any specific shoot locations, anything from urban-based, rural, parks etc, seafront, beaches etc etc will be suitable. If you have any local knowledge on cool places to shoot that we could use please do mention them as that could be a big help. Otherwise I'm happy trawling through websites and google maps to find places.

Minimum 4 hours to be productive I think. I have a number of moodboards already in place for ideas covering all the styles I've mentioned, all here:

.....whilst these are used as inspiration, and there are enough ideas there to fill hundreds of photoshoots (!), my philosophy is that they act as a general styling guide and for shoot ideas if needed. I don't want to exactly recreate these ideas, in all honesty most of my photoshoots end up being driven by the combination of mine and the models creativity, the flow of ideas on the photoshoot itself and ultimately what outfits the model has to model in.

As I'm booking in a few shoots on this particular weekend, I do have a total budget in mind so I've put this paid casting up alongside a separate TFP one as I can't do a hybrid one.

I am happy to consider part-pay/part-TFP if you think you'd like some images back from our shoot. If you want to apply on this basis, please do let me know and what you're rates would be.

In all cases I am happy to cover reasonable travel expenses if applicable.

The successful model will need to be happy to do their own hair & makeup and have suitable clothes to model in. Please just confirm that you're happy with this when applying, along with your rates, whether you'd need travel covering and if there is any particular time or day over that weekend that you cannot do.

Once I have a specific area fixed, I'll probably aim to book an airbnb to stay at (rather than a generic hotel), so in case of bad weather that may be an option to shoot at if I can find somewhere suitably photogenic. I'd prefer not to go down that route if possible as a re-think for the whole photoshoot would be needed, but something to bear in mind as a backup.

Sorry, it's a long read......and I realise it's lacking somewhat in specifics, but I'm sure we can quickly sort out exact shoot times and a shootplan along with the exact location if you're successful in your application.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
