Models needed for Free Portrait Promotion
I’m looking for people who would like a really good and totally free portrait. I'm planning to shoot a lot more portraits this year, particularly on black and white film, and I’d like to test everything before I get started. I’ll shoot most of these on one of my medium format film cameras. The shoot will be completely free and I’ll give you a professional 8x10” or A4 print, and the digital image as well (scanned from the negative). I’ll take almost any style of photo you’d like although I’m looking for a good number of black and white environmental portraits of individuals - people doing their work or hobby, or in their home, urban and rural settings etc.
Offer is open to anyone (so please tell your friends!) but you’ll need to contact me before the end of February. I reserve the right to terminate the offer a little early if I get inundated with bookings! Anywhere in the Greater Wellington and Wairarapa regions. Just email, text or ring for more details. Email is a good way to contact me, then I can reply and attach a pdf with examples of the types of images I’m particularly looking for.
Terms and conditions
• The portrait session is completely free.
• Anywhere in the Wellington, Hutt Valley and Wairarapa regions.
• Offer expires on 28 February 2025 although I reserve the right to terminate the offer earlier if I receive too many bookings.
• The offer doesn’t include family, team or group photos, corporate or business photos, or standard headshots and passport photos.
• I’d like all the photos to be taken in February-March, although I will shoot some a little later if necessary.
• Black and white although I’m open to a few colour images. I intend to take them all on a medium format film camera, but may use 35mm if necessary (for example a portrait shot using a very long lens).
• Includes film and processing.
• Includes one free 8x10” or A4 print (or an equivalent number of smaller prints if you prefer) and the digital image scanned from the negative.
• The photos will not be sold or used for any purpose other than promoting my own business (my portfolio or in a gallery on my website).
• Also please note that I’m running this promotion to test my equipment, film and procedures before advertising this type of portraiture for real, and while I’ve shot hundreds of portraits in my career, and all my equipment is in good working condition, it is possible that something won’t work, or a particular film won’t come out as expected. I’ll be embarrassed if that happens, and I’ll gladly re-shoot the portrait, but that’s the point of testing.
