Isa Gabriella
I regularly shoot at a studio in New Hampshire, which hires traveling models for a two-day engagement. They shoot their own content in one session and invite photographers to reserve 1:1 shooting slots afterward.
Molly Beth
Molly and I found one another on IG. She’s in the region and was looking for engagements. I looked at her profile and was convinced. She’d requested a deposit and I don’t do them. It took a bit of conversation to make it all work but we did.
Lady Levant
I first met Leash at a photographer/model mixer, and she was great to talk to. Leash had worked with a few photographers there, and they all spoke highly of her, so we set up a shoot at my studio. I also invited Ron M, another photographer buddy that I have known for years.
Olivia
I was fortunate to connect with Olivia at the New Hampshire studio I sometimes shoot in.They hire traveling models for a two-day engagement, shooting their own content in one session and invite photographers to reserve 1:1 shooting slots afterward. It really works for me because I can connect with excellent, experienced models who I wouldn’t be aware of since they are out of my local market.
Kay
I regularly shoot at a studio in New Hampshire, which hires traveling models for a multi-session engagement. They shoot their own content in one session and invite photographers to reserve 1:1 shooting slots afterward. Kay was out of my local market, so this was probably the only way we would have connected.
Inna
Inna is professional and I knew right away that our time would be productive. She arrived on time, which is always appreciated, with a small suitcase. As we settled in, we talked about her modeling activity. Inna is a professional traveling model; it’s what she does. I like working with people who are strictly focused on modeling because they “get it.” A confident, experienced model settles in quickly, asks questions, understands the answers ,and engages. It’s easy and efficient.
Ayeonna Gabrielle
This is my first shoot with Ayeonna. One of the first things I noticed about her as we startedshooting out on the stairwell was her self-awareness in posing. This look was all naturallight and mostly B/W. We got some great captures there.
Sarah
Sarah and I connected on Instagram. We talked about shooting and struggled a little at first over the details. For example, she required a deposit for the shoot, which some models do.I won’t pay a deposit. As is often the case, some good discussion cleared things up, we compromised and were able to schedule.
Copper Penny
She was the model at a local winter group shoot. In these types of events, a small group of photographers pays a flat fee for the afternoon, and each takes turns shooting for about 3-5mins.
