The Leharr Collection & Santi Homme Event
Thank you for your interest!
Welcome to the casting brief for the Leharr Collection and Santi Homme Creative Event!
Please review this brief in its entirety before signing up for casting in the form provided at the end of the brief.
I, like many photographers, understand that the perfect photo isn't solely taken, but is in fact produced by a team of creatives. In light of my goals to bring the creative community more value through creative workshops and events, I want to start a series of events revolving around local boutiques and designers. I want these events to be an opportunity for creatives to step into the "industry standard" environments intended to push their creativity in a time sensitive and team oriented manner.
I hope that this event will give me, and the other creatives involved, the opportunity to grow and expand our portfolios all while supporting local designers and boutiques.

Current Shooting Structure
(Time structures per creative will be changed as needed to provide optimal content time with everyone)
I strongly recommend each photographer to have a shot list ready and to reach out to each group of models and vice versa.
Photography Portion
Each creative will have the opportunity to photograph each group of models. How they choose to split your time amongst your model group is entire up to them. This allows for more individuality per creative and model group.
Videography Portion
Videographers will be encouraged to film BTS style during the photography portion, but will also get a portion of time to be the primary director of the modeling group. This allows for team building experience, and the opportunity to create and execute shot lists.
On Set Assistants Portion
Every creative pod will have a minimum of 1-2 assistants present to ensure both models and creatives have water and snacks as they need, and to act as extra hands for either bouncing light, blocking light, checking gowns and hair etc.
Additionally, There will be a portion of time in each pod towards the end of their time that our assistants will have an opportunity to shoot/work with the models.
