I’ll be doing two group photo shoots at Exxxotica Chicago beginning at 3pm on Friday, April 21st. These will be TFP shoots. All participating models will receive both raw and a number of final processed images (minimum 10) from the shoot. All models will be required to sign 2257s and TFP model release forms.
All model group shoot
Theme: Art/alternative nude/semi-nude/implied nude shoot highlighting body positivity, human beauty, diversity, and sensuality.
Levels: Non-explicit nudity; light erotica; exposed breasts, hips, legs, and buttocks; close proximity to other female models.
Details: This shoot idea first came into my head one night as I imagined putting together a jigsaw puzzle of a black and white image of female bodies intertwined with one another. The shoot will consist of three specific pose approaches.
The first group pose is what I call “the puppy pile.” All participating models will lay themselves out across one another on a bed, forming a landscape of curves, bodies, and faces. This will be shot from above down onto the bed and cropped so that only the bodies are in frame, and no actual evidence of the room. We’ll shoot both an R-rated image (with nipples and other “full nude” elements in view), then a more social media-friendly version with breasts, butts, and crotches obscurred into nothing but a sea of curves (both with faces facing the camera and with faces obscured). The tone will be soft, playful, and sensual.
The second group pose will be what I’ve called “making shapes.” Here we’ll use the models to construct various themed images with their bodies together. One of the main shape ideas in this group pose is to create the image of a 3-D vagina constructed of models making up various aspects of the labia, clitoris, and pubic area. Here is when we can thematically explore the variety of beauty in all these models being in one room together. This would include collective images of breasts, asses, and other assets, as well as fun ideas like spelling out specific words or symbols.
The third group pose is for the sake of spontaneity. By this stage comfort levels between the model will have increased, so the models themselves will take over directing what they want for photographic content, though this will be limited to non-explicit nude/semi-nude/implied in order to keep levels in check for the call sheet.
Logistics: This shoot requires a minimum of six models and a maximum of twelve. For this reason, there are attendence limits. My priority will be given to models that represent variety of models in the adult community, be it in body type, age, ethnicity, height, and so on. For this shoot I’m only seeking cis female models. Models will not be required to be tested (as there is no explicit or penetrative content being captured), but all models must bring ID and be ready to sign both a 2257 and TFP model release form. As noted above, all models will be given access to raw images once uploaded, as well as use (though not sale) of final processed images.
Shooting begins at 4pm on April 21st at the Hilton Rosemont/Chicago O’Hare, directly across the street from the convention center. This shoot will immediately follow my BBW shoot and will incorporate a few models from that shoot as well. Models may arrive anytime between 3:45-4pm, but should be ready to shoot at 4pm. No wardrobe needed. Bathroom space will be available to all.
