- I'm always professional and considerate and have never canceled last-minute on a committed date.
- I only have a limited amount of time available for photography projects, so I choose my models/subjects very carefully. I will always give priority to models that I have worked with before in the most productive and positive ways.
- I have no interest in work that is gratuitous or pornographic in nature
- I enjoy doing fashion imagery in a unique and somewhat unorthodox style, figure work, exploring unique shot ideas, and artistic nudes in a variety of styles. I try to convey class, maturity and emotion in my images within the framework of the models own style, approach and comfort zone.
- I have a desire to build a portfolio that is NOT about me as an individual, but about art, about the beauty of the image, and that is a tribute to the process of collaboration.
- I am not in the business of building portfolios for models to begin their career.
- I work with individuals that have little to no experience in front of a camera.
- I pride myself on my ability to work with the novice model to get exceptional quality and emotion from my images.
- All the work you see here was created over the past year. Most experiences have been overwhelmingly positive as I had the opportunity to work with some exceptional models. I hope to keep building on that momentum!
I do need new faces from time to time for my projects, if you are interested then keep reading.
If selected you would receive a test shoot with Scott Slusher at no charge, however, I do not pay models.
If you want to apply then please read these instructions carefully and email scott @ scottslusher.net with the subject line TEST SHOOT APPLICATION, Correct subject is important. You can also send me a message on Model Mayhem with the same subject line.
Please include the following with your email:
* Your name
* Phone Number (let me know if you get text messages)
* Your age and birth date (if you are under 18 you will need your parent's consent)
* City and state you live in
* Height / Weight / Measurements (if you know them)
* Attach 4-8 current photos of yourself *See below for tips
Tips on what Photos to Send
* Photos should be current, preferably taken within the last 6 months
* At least one photo should show your face at a neutral angle with a neutral expression
* At least one photo should show your figure/body-type - swimsuits work great
* Photos do not need to be professional, self-portraits in the mirror are just fine
Tips on what I'm looking for:
* Females age 17-26
* I love quirky or unusual beauty - hard to explain but I know it when I see it!
* No previous modeling experience is required
* 5'3" and taller
* Thin to average body type
* Must be willing to travel to Louisville, KY at your own expense
Please note - Due to the high number of applications I receive you will only receive a response if you are selected - responses could take anywhere from one to sixty days. I get A LOT of applications and only choose a very, very select few (less than 5%). If you absolutely MUST shoot with me I suggest booking a regular photo session - after that, you may impress me enough that I continue to use you in future shoots (this has happened more than once!)
