Professional F photographer seeking M model for Regency style shoot

Ridgewood NY

Description

Hello and happy new year! I am a full-time freelance professional photographer who is looking to start shooting personal artwork projects (as opposed to just client work), and this year I would like to dip my toes into fine-art photography. My first project is a Medieval/Renaissance/Regency 'painterly' style photoshoot, and I am seeking a male model between 30 and 45 years old who has access to costuming and/or interesting studio space. You will receive professionally shot and retouched jpegs in exchange for your time and talent, as this idea is just a personal project for me (no fiat payment, this is a trade deal only). No nudity involved (maybe a slight open shirt, at the most). Ideally, my model is someone who can pass for a regency-era gentleman (or peasant) in terms of hairstyle, build, complexion, etc. This will likely be a 1-2 hour session where you will be posed sitting at a table near a window, or standing in a doorway; super basic and low key, but mostly just looking to get some dramatic lighting and moody expressions. Here is the link to the Pinterest board where I have collected some ideas of things that are close to what I am looking for: https://pin.it/7cJTEbo. You can also view my client work at www.jinyc-photo.com to vet me for safety and comfort. If you're interested in this, let me know and we can hash out further details :) Please email me at to collaborate. Thanks, and best wishes!
