FAAREY PHOTOGRAPHY by Louisa Thomas

MODELS WANTED - "Storybook" calendar project

I'll be photographing a calendar which will be sold to raise money for Kemmyrk - a homeless charity based on the Isle of Man. The calendar will be shot with a "Storybook" theme overall, using classic fairytales and children's stories for inspiration on each shoot. This will give us the opportunity to create a diverse range of images, from cheerful and bright to abstract and sinister.

Right now I'm looking for models - any age, any style, no experience necessary (although all models will need to be over 18 at the time of their shoot).

If you or anyone you know is interested, please contact me and include some details: name / email address / a brief description (hair colour, height, etc) / any distinguishing features (eg piercings, tattoos) / a recent photo / any special talents (eg. dancing, juggling) / your usual availablity. Alternatively, you can search "Storybook calendar - Kemmyrk fundraiser" on Facebook, join the group and contact me that way.

I'll also be looking for people to help behind the scenes, so if you'd like to act as a hair stylist, makeup artist, designer or stylist please get in touch and include the following details: name / email address / any experience you've had / any particular interests that will help me match you to a particular theme (eg. you love styling current fashions, you're experienced in goth makeup and clothes, you're an abstract artist, you can design and make costumes).

As this project is raising money for a charity, I'll be asking everyone involved to work "time for prints" - this means that you won't be paid but you'll receive copies of the photographs and you'll be credited on the finished calendar.

This is going to be a great project, hopefully with a wide range of people involved. It's an opportunity not just to help a fantastic charity but also to experience a few hours as a model, part of a photo crew or to have your work seen by a wider market. If you have any questions or you'd like to get involved, please email me at the address shown below.
