Open Jobs:
We are a startup Vintage Lingerie Company in need of 2 models. Our relationship would start as a collaboration with the potential to move towards a paying position. We are happy to work with aspiring/new models who are looking to learn new techniques, build their portfolio and social media following, and gain professional references.
We are not requiring perfect stereotypical model-types, but rather we are just looking for anyone who fits the sizes we need and who wants a collaboration with us as described.
Some photos will include your head/face, while some are of neck down only. Your photos will be seen on our multiple websites, on our social media, in advertisements, and potentially other brand mediums.
We’re looking for 2 models with just a couple of size needs:
1. Size 0-2, Bust size: A-B cup.
2. Size 10-12, Bust size: any.
OTHERWISE NO REQUIREMENTS in terms of age, height, body type, skin or hair color, body hair, hair style, tattoos, piercings, etc. Finger/toenails don’t need to be painted, there’s no need to be perfectly waxed or shaved, and you don’t need to fit into any ‘photoshoot perfect’ stereotype. We really want REAL women, so the details of your body are not likely to be an issue, as long as you are one of the sizes we are looking for. Most things can be edited in post-production, so if you have things you’re uncomfortable with about your body we can usually photoshop them out easily; and we can often include your opinions in the post-production process should you want certain things airbrushed out.
To collab with us as a model you will receive the following:
1. Coaching and training during both catalog and editorial type photoshoots
2. Complete and professional copies (after photo-retouching) of all usable photos from every shoot to include in your portfolio
3. Guaranteed professional references and letters of recommendation to potential employers as needed in perpetuity (so long as your collaboration with us meets standards which will be outlined to you in detail prior to work)
4. Credits for every photo we use of you on our social media, including links to your social media accounts to help you gain awareness and followers and to show your work
5. Extra time working with us if you request—during which we can help you to learn techniques, take practice photos using various stylings, and grow your skills.
If you have any other things you’d hope to get out of a collab with us, we are happy to discuss your desires further!
These are unpaid positions. You receive the above opportunities in return for about 4-10 hours per month of modeling time with us (plus more if you request extra technique training and practice). As our business grows, we will be looking for your improvement so we can offer you hourly pay. There is no requirement to continue with us should you land other work.
Even if you have never modelled and are just interested in seeing how it goes, we welcome you and look forward to helping you start. We welcome ALL looks and types and believe anyone can be a model it just takes willpower to get there!
Photoshoot atmosphere:
The clothing is lingerie, but there will be no nudity in any photos, meaning no exposure of nipples or genitals in final print photos. We will ask that you bring black and white underwear pairs to every shoot to wear underneath most lingerie, and we will provide pasties to cover nipples when bras are not worn. Our brand is women-owned and women-run: female photographer, stylist, editor etc. Models are provided with a bathroom and robe as well as a dressing area for privacy. We have a privacy agreement, and work standards & collaboration agreement to sign upon beginning all collaborations.
Location of photoshoots: is primarily our studio in Bristol, CT. We ask that models come to that location about 2-4 times per month. Moving forward there will be more on-location photography in surrounding areas and opportunity for more creativity.
TO INQUIRE: please respond with your name, general area of residence, and a description of any modeling history or reason why you want to model if this would be your first time. If you are comfortable, Please attach either a full body photo or a link to your social media, Or we can go over those in person during an interview.
Looking forward to hearing from you! Any questions, please let us know.
