MODEL CALL FOR PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS
Aloha,
I’m currently reaching out to new faces to hire for a photography workshop. I’m planning to do 5-6 more photography workshops throughout 2026.
Model Call: "A Day At The Beach" Photography Workshop
I’m looking for 3–4 models to join me for my upcoming workshop on June 6! This session focuses on capturing beautiful, fun in-the-sun imagery during the golden hour and sunset.
Details:
-
Date: June 6 (One day only)
-
Time: 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM (Sunset session)
-
Location: Beach (Specific location TBD)
-
Wardrobe: Summer dresses, jeans shorts, sarongs, & bikinis
-
Rate: $100 base pay
The "Fill the Workshop" Bonus: I believe in rewarding the team when we succeed together! If the workshop reaches full student capacity, I will be adding a bonus to the base pay for every model on set. I am planning to open 15 spots for photographers.
Collaborate with Me: To help us get there, I’m looking for models open to an Instagram Collaboration post. By accepting a collab tag, you’ll help spread the word to a wider audience, which helps us fill the slots faster and unlocks those bonuses for everyone!
How to Apply: If you’re interested in a fun, professional afternoon of shooting, please fill out the form below. Let’s make some magic at the beach!
For all of my workshops, I make it a point to educate the photographers & give them your point of view as a model on what’s expected of them, especially on etiquette, how you would like to be talked to, and giving direction by the photographer, even if you are an experienced model. I want this to be a learning experience for everyone!
Model Requirements:
-
Be Reliable: Our schedule is tight to ensure participants get the most out of the day, so arriving on time is essential.
-
Be Responsive: Quick communication helps me keep the pre-planning & scheduling moving smoothly.
-
Be Professional: A professional attitude ensures a great experience for both the students and the creative team.
-
Professional Focus: I ask that you refrain from using alcohol or recreational drugs during the workshop.
-
Ready to Create: Please ensure you arrive clear-headed and ready to work.
-
Our Commitment: Being fully present helps everyone do our best creative work and keeps the energy levels up and professional.
-
Pay will vary based on the workshop time requirements & number of models.
-
You will be required to sign off on a model release contract when you are hired to model in my workshop(s).
This is a 2-step process for every hired model.
STEP 1:
-
The form below needs to be filled out completely.
STEP 2:

Once I receive it, I will email a link to the Model Release Contract to all hired models for their digital signatures & acknowledgment to accept the terms & conditions of the contract.
Mahalo for your interest & hope to be hearing from you. Aloha, Ryan
