CASTING CALL for female models (19+) in or near Edinburgh to shoot alt glam photo sets for Zivity.com

This is copy-pasta’d from my ModelMayhem Casting Call. If you would prefer to read and respond to it on MM, go HERE.

Before you read any further, this Casting Call will only be relevant to you if you are…
FEMALE, OVER 19, LIVING IN OR CLOSE TO EDINBURGH AND HAPPY TO POSE FOR AWESOME YUMMY ALT GLAM PHOTOS IN THE STYLE OF THE OTHER IMAGES ON ZIVITY.COM

I am currently planning to book shoots for content to submit to Zivity.com, starting to book early January 2010 when my back injury heals. This is the ONLY TF* that I am currently considering. I would like to connect with female models (19+) in or around Edinburgh to shoot photo sets for the site (and their portfolio and for use online). People thinking of signing up would be fab, but people who are ALREADY on the site would be even better!

Initially THIS IS TF* but Zivity’s FAQ explains that models and photographers earn royalties via the site’s voting system. I’m not under the impression that there are fortunes to be made here, but it’s a fun way to inspire creativity and get some exposure in a new field. As a member, I have invitations to send to models who would like to join. Models can have an extension of the initial free trial period by emailing Zivity with their username and portfolio link/headshot and once your first set goes live, you’re there for free forever (which is fab).

*** I don’t run Zivity or have anything official to do with the site – I am simply grabbing some info to post here so that I don’t end up answering the same questions a hundred times ***

Before replying, please visit Zivity.com, have a look around, get an idea of what the place is all about and take your time to think about whether or not you want to join. Obviously it’s better if both photographer AND model(s) are enthusiastic about the site and if you’re already working on establishing, building and maintaining an online fanbase, Zivity.com is another place to meet potential fans/followers/admirers.

If this isn’t your thing, no worries…just don’t reply

Ideally I would like to shoot studio sets in my studio on the south side of Edinburgh’s city centre and as this isn’t a paying gig right now I can’t afford to cover travel costs. If you aren’t able to easily and cheaply get to Edinburgh, please don’t contact me asking for travel money or saying that you live in London/Brighton/Australia but can come to Scotland.

If you’d like to reply, please email me at Tanya@RockstarVanity.com

Indigo Siren

Ever wanted to be a model for the day? Well, now you can with our fabulous workshops!

Indigo Siren is a joint venture between Frances McPate (FM Make-up), Tanya Simpson (RockstarVanity Photography) and Wild Card Kitty (model, performer and stylist). Between us we have a wealth of experience working with fetish and pin-up models, working on film and television and having traversed the globe gaining experience and critical acclaim!

We offer exciting burlesque, pin-up, fetish and alt glam styling, modelling and photographic workshops for all would-be glamour girls, beauty queens, starlets, stunners and vintage vixens all across the UK. Book a space alone and make new friends, book with friends for a fun experience, to commemorate an occasion such as a birthday or hen night, or simply as a stepping stone in building your photographic portfolio!

Our styling, modelling and photographic workshops aren’t just great fun – they also offer an opportunity to learn tricks of the trade from a qualified make-up artist, be styled and coached by an experienced model, performer and stylist, and have a photoshoot with a professional photographer.

Our workshops are great for models and performers looking to develop their portfolio, boudoir beauties who would like sexy shots to treasure (or to give to someone else to treasure!) or ladies who dream of bringing luxurious new elements to their own personal style.

We welcome guests of all ages, shapes and sizes. No experience is necessary! Remember, the accent is on fun, so you’ll never be made to reveal or wear anything you don’t want to. We’ve worked with all sorts of ladies from aspiring models to girls who “never wear make-up”.

Our first workshop is burlesque-themed and is being held on 21st March at Out of the Blue on Dalmeny Street in Edinburgh.  You can contact us to book a place on the workshop (each place is £100 for a four hour session with around ten participants) by email at info@indigosiren.com or by phone on 07737 549 774.  Places are limited so please book early to avoid disappointment.  You can find lots more information in the following places…
