$500 Tech Company Photoshoot

IllinoisUnited States
Job Type:
Model
Skills:
Modeling
— We are working with a technology company that is creating custom stock photography and videography and looking for just a few actors/models. We would need a diverse group — men and women, various ages of all colors between 25 and 45 years of age. Please read this in its entirety before submitting.

Rate of Pay: $500 for up to 8 hours Plus: $50 wardrobe bump in pay. Parking & Meal provided
Weekend: August 21/22
Covid Protocal will be what is required for filming in Illinois at the time of the shoot. If testing is required, it would be a day or two prior.
In your submission please indicate if you are not available both days. If only one, mention the day you are able to commit if selected. We need to count on you and to be patient during the day and stay until they wrap you. There will be some down time, but you need to stay in holding as usual.
Types: men and women, between 25 and 45 years of age. All ethnicities. Talent will be representing both blue collar installers as well as white collar sales and engineering types. Attractive and in good shape but more “real world” than models. Must look professional with NO visible tattoos or piercings, besides women can have pierced ears.
NOTE: As talent photos and videos may be used in business-to-business print and video advertising they can’t have any talent that have felony records. However unlikely, it would be embarrassing if someone wearing the company logo also showed up in a photo with a police number.
Clothing: Should be able to provide basic options of wardrobe of khakis, slacks and dress shoes. We would also ask that talent bring a couple pair good jeans (no holes) for some photos. They will provide shirts and other attire as needed. If you have work boots, mention in your email. That is a plus.
In addition, if you can DANCE, mention what type of dance you perform in your email. There may be some dance shots or they may get those in other parts of the world.
 
Location: an office building in/near downtown CHICAGO.
