$100 Outdoor Fashion Photoshoot at Highlands Hammock Park
Fashion with an Attitude
I am looking for an adult female model from Sebring or the surrounding area 21-45, who is comfortable being photographed and allowing selected images to appear in my online Flickr photography portfolio. Previous professional modeling experience is not required, but you should be comfortable following posing direction and expressing different moods and attitudes in front of the camera.
You provide the outfits. The goal is to create a variety of images using different areas of the park so the final photos do not all look the same. This is a fashion-style outdoor shoot, so outfits should photograph well and fit the natural park setting. Dresses, stylish casual outfits, jeans, boots, hats, sunglasses, and accessories can all work well depending on the look you want. Outfits should be fashionable and appropriate for a public park setting. I will also bring a large collection of hats and sunglasses that may be used during the shoot.
Smiling portraits have their place, but this shoot is also about creating images that feel confident, expressive, alive, and full of “attitude”.
Professional modeling experience is not required. I will provide posing and expression guidance throughout the shoot.
Some Previous Photoshoots at Highlands Hammock Park
I have photographed a number of sessions at Hammocks Park and Highlands Hammock State Park, including:
Depending on the pace of the shoot, you can expect approximately 50–100 processed images. You will also receive the usable RAW files from the session. All files will be delivered electronically through Dropbox.
You may use the delivered images for your personal portfolio, social media, and modeling promotion. I may use selected images in my photography portfolio, website, Flickr albums, and photography related socialmedia pages.
Chaperone Required/ Best Friend Invited
A chaperone is required for this photoshoot. A friend, spouse, family member, or other trusted person is welcome to attend. The chaperone should be supportive of the shoot and not interfere with posing, direction, or the photography process.
I can also take some portrait shots of family members who attend. I will not post these images online.
Location
The shoot would take place in the area between the pavilions and the museum. The area also has a store and a stage for concerts. It is on the left about a tenth of a mile after the security gate.
Time and Schedule
The photoshoot will normally take approximately two hours. This includes walking between locations, changing into three outfits, and allowing enough time to create a variety of images with different poses, backgrounds, and lighting.
Summer shoots typically run from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. It would have to be on the weekends.
Payment
The model will be paid $100 for completing the agreed three-outfit photoshoot. Payment will be made at the conclusion of the shoot.
About the Photographer
My background also includes several years of lighting instruction and hands-on training at Face2Face Professional Studio in Fort Lauderdale. That experience helps me work with changing outdoor light, flash, shadows, and posing to create polished images rather than ordinary park snapshots.
I have photographed models for approximately 20 years. Before moving to Sebring, I regularly photographed models throughout South Florida, including Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Broward County, and Miami Beach.
Photography is a serious creative hobby for me rather than a business. My goal is to create the highest-quality images possible for both the model and my photography portfolio. I particularly enjoy producing expressive fashion images that show confidence, personality, and attitude—not just traditional smiling portraits.
I have spent years studying photography and lighting, including professional studio-lighting instruction in Fort Lauderdale. For this outdoor shoot, I will select the starting time and locations according to the available light, weather, and backgrounds.
Portfolio Use
This offer is intended for someone who is comfortable having selected images displayed in my photography portfolio, website, Flickr albums, and photography-related social media pages.
You may choose the name used for your public album, including your full name, first name only, modeling name, or another agreed name.
Experience and References
I have maintained a Model Mayhem profile for more than 19 years, where prospective models can view additional information, previous work, and references from people with whom I have worked.
