HIC- Calling All Models!!! Open Casting Call!!

HARLOW IN CHAINS: CASTING CALL!!


Have you purchased a piece from Harlow? Have you absolutely fallen in love with it? So much so that you'd want to model it for my new website?? I'll be featuring the best of the best on my soon-to-be newly refurbished website!
------------------------------------------------
I'm holding an open casting call - calling all ‘real’ models!! All of the beautiful women who’ve chosen Harlow In Chains to add to their unique collection of personal adornment: rather than hiring professional models, I want you to represent my line!!



Whether it be an urban DIY shoot on the streets of Brooklyn, or a beautiful antiqued indoor shoot - have your Uber-talented photographer friend set you up and shoot you like there's no tomorrow! I'm not looking for a family portrait here; I'm looking for your best, most creative, fun and artistic shots. So, if you've had any ideas bouncing around your head regarding a hot series or a dark, and alluring set of shots, now's the time to pull those out!!!
------------------------------------------------
Amateur or the real deal - take some amazing photos of yourself, wearing my pieces; get brave - use your Polaroid/Lomo/Holga/Diana cameras and your imagination; take one shot, several shots - hell, make it a series; if they look great and show my pieces in the best possible light, they'll be up on my site{s} for all to see!! I need the pieces to be shown in all their glory, and since I know that you're all as lovely, unique and mysterious as the pieces I've created for you, jump in and come up with something amazing! If you decide to shoot a full series, you'll get your own section in my gallery; tagged, linked and ready-to-go. No restrictions or limitations - the styling's all up to you!!
P.S. – Don’t worry about sending too many. If you send 30, only 10 may make it onto the HIC site, but the remainder will end up in my other galleries, so don’t worry about a thing.***Large resolution photos are welcome {and preferred}!!
Have fun with it!! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!!!
xoxo
------------------------------------------------

The {not-so} fine print: It’s easy – this is a simple, fun exchange…

Deadline: July 20th, 2009. If I receive some excellent shots after that date, I will use them, it just may take a little longer to get them up on the site.

A}
I'll be using these photos on harlowinchains.com, as well as my other gallery sites. I’ll use the best in my table-top look-book. I may even use them to promote when interviewed or when a blog/magazine requests photos, so for any aspiring models out there, this will be great exposure!! You can use these in your own look-book/portfolios, as long as credit is given.
