Photo model for advertisement photography

[Orwar]

   I'm looking for one or two models for future use in advertisement (within Second Life).

Doing what?

   I'm currently in the process of building an inventory of static photography poses, for which ad shots will be required. For the sake of diversity, I'd like at least some of these shoots to be done with different avatars than my own ones. This won't be a full-time job as such, but rather a position to be employed when needed. Since the poses are primarily intended for use by female avatars, I'd like the models to be female (if I need male models down the line, a separate search will be started!).

   The models should, at least for the duration of the shoots at least, adhere to a Gothic style as this is important to the 'theme'. As some sets may be of a mature or even adult nature, partial nudity may occasionally be required (but we're not shooting pornography).

Requirements:

   I will teach some modelling basics as required, so that's no concern. The only real requirements are:

• Must be able to communicate in English (or Swedish). Writing and reading (i.e. text chat) will be the primary medium, but being able to speak and/or listen to voice chat is a bonus.
• Must be compatible with a Central European schedule: where you are doesn't matter, but expect work to be scheduled somewhere between 06:00-11:00 SLT (15:00-20:00 CET) on weekdays.
• Must have a positive, or at least tolerant attitude, when working with a rather morbid photographer. Work should be fun, and I have a dark sense of humour. If you are easily offended, this might not be for you, I'm afraid.
• Must have, or be willing to invest in, a selection of appropriate clothing, accessories, make-up, hair, etc. If I require anything specific to be used in a shot, I will cover the costs - but I can not deck you out with a full wardrobe for every shoot.
• Must have Discord, as I'm a calendar-blind person; scheduling, planning, sharing images and so forth is just much easier in Discord. If you don't have it and/or don't know what it is, it's a free platform for text and voice communication - feel free to ask if you need assistance getting started.

Rewards:

   For the time being, being that the business is yet to get off the ground, I can only offer a modest compensation for your time, but unless otherwise specified, expect a shoot to net you the following:

• L$500
• A free set of the poses that you'll be modeling for.
• Free use of the photos taken, whether for in-world decoration or for your blog - as long as the signature is unhampered with, and credits are shared where applicable (i.e. if you put it on a blog: " Photographer: Orwar. Pose: [Furlgrimr] XYZ #2 ")

Bonuses:

   In addition to your 'salary', you'll also:

• Occasionally get an outfit, accessory, hair or such which I pick out for you for the shoot.
• Be in an opportune position to persuade me to do a scenic shoot, or a custom pose, for your private use.

How to apply?

   Simply write me a notecard in-world, respond to this thread, or send me a PM here through the forums if you are interested, and we'll schedule for an interview. With the holidays coming up, the application period will be open until midnight of December 31st (CET), after that I will make the selections, and expect us to be operational a week or two into the new year.

   Sample of what kind of advert you may be expected to model for (although, this was a burlesque/pinup-inspired set, mind - dress code won't always call for quite so much skin!):

   If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Bad time conversion

I can't guarantee that I will be able to be available 0:00AM - 5:00AM SLT (my timezone matches SLT and I usually go to bed between 1:00 and 3:00) and my Goth outfits are a bit dated, but other than that I think I would like to give modeling a go, you make it sound like a lot of fun.

This is my Flickr, perhaps you could use me as a backup in case your other models are unavailable? Or, if you think I am worth a shot, you could use me as a regular model. Assuming you think you can use me.

   Hm, this is a little bit embarrassing, I believe I've miscalculated the SLT.

   15:00-20:00 CET (which is SLT+9), so the actual time is 06.00-11.00 SLT!

   ... I blame the aforementioned calendar-blindness, or something.

Would love to help out but being in the USA (and working full time weekdays) I'm unable to meet your schedule. However, I did want to wish you good luck! I enjoyed our short photo shoot a while back and I'm sure anyone who works with you will too.

   We should do one again sometime, if just for fun!

Hi! I would adore the idea of participating in your project, I might not have the most experience but got the best attitude to learn ! In my little time in SL I have loved photography and exploring here! Here is my Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/185431616@N03/

Have a great day! 

Thank you!

I'm sure you have received more responses than you need, but I believe I can offer you a unique look.

I designed these tattoos recently, and can add more or alter if needed.

Of course I have hair if desired, but wanted to show you my full head tattoo.

I'm also a landscaper/designer should you need help with set design. You can see examples of my work on my Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/annabell.wandsworth.7

I think I would be a perfect fit for this! I am a red head, but am willing to change up my hair color when modeling for you. I identify as big tiddy goth gf(lul) so I think I qualify, but you can be the judge. I have a few images on here, but we can meet up in person you can verify if my look matches what you are envisioning.
