SHOOT IDEAS
Like everyone else, I've got a bunch of shoot ideas that I'd like to have a go at. Some of these I've done before, but with every new model I work with comes a fresh perspective and a chance to create something different. I'll loosely categorise them as something best suited for a studio, on location, or either. All links go to either Pinterest, Instagram or an Image Collection here on Purpleport. In brackets at the end of each listed theme is the minimum level associated with it. If I haven't listed a level, please assume there's no restrictions. Many of the themes may show images at a high level than the minimum I've suggested, but please note I never level push, and we can often adapt any pinned shot to a level you're comfortable with.
This casting is flagged as Collaborative, but that's only because you have to pick something. I often work with "pay only" models, and I'm more than happy to do so with most of these themes below. As I'm still yet to win the lottery, I work within a budget each month, and so shoots that require the purchase of costumes or props, will eat into that budget, and so this will impact what's available to models who are pay only. Similarly, specialised studio hires like TankSpace are very expensive and so I'll only do TFs in those such places (i.e. only travel expenses covered).
