ACTORS, MODELS & ENTERTAINERS
If you have excellent skin (completely smooth and clear) you are welcome to book a free photo session at Award Studio.  The sessions are usually 3-4 hours and you must arrive 5 minutes early and stay for the entire time. Our make-up artists are trained with camera make-up products and techniques. When they are in their advanced classes we bring in actors, models and musicians for them to work on to build their make-up portfolios. The make-up artists pay for the film, processing and printing of the proof sheets. The only thing you pay for are any prints or CDs that you order. (We use an independent lab that charges $25 for 8x10 custom prints.  For CDs, they charge $15 per scan with a 4 scan minimum). You will have your make-up done by 2-3 artists, wearing different clothing for each one. Photos will be taken of each look.  Please email recent photo to awardstudio@gmail.com to be considered.

FASHION MODELS
To be considered for our fashion shoots on location you must be slim (size 2-6) and have a great fashion face.  If you feel you qualify please email a recent un-retouched full length photo with statistics to awardstudio@gmail.com and please be sure to include your name and phone number.

WHAT TO BRING
Come with no make-up on but with hair camera ready. You can do minor hair changes between outfits if you wish, as long as they are quick changes.  Bring 4-5 outfits (no white).  The evening sessions are headshots only, in the studio. The daytime sessions may be ¾ shots outside or studio head shots. Since the make-up artists pay for everything, they decide.

WHY ARE THESE PHOTO SESSIONS FREE?
The photographer is Amy Ward who has worked internationally for Vogue, Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, etc. The only reason she is doing free photo sessions is because they are for the make-up artists that she has trained. This enables the make-up artists to build their portfolios and you can get great photos for actor’s headshots and modeling.

PHOTO RELEASE
By law the photographer automatically holds the copyright to photographs they take. The photographer, models, actors and make-up artists have the right to use these pictures for personal promotion in the form of portfolios, business cards, zed cards, head shots and their website. The photographer, Amy Ward, can also use the photographs for brochures, books, training videos and magazines to promote her work and Award Studio. The models, actors and make-up artists may not give or sell the photographs to be used in advertising for another company, editorial or other publication without first getting written permission from the photographer, since she holds the copyright. You must read this before booking a photo session. By booking a photo session it means you agree to these terms.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

If you would like to book a photo session call Amy at (818) 980-2119.  Once you have booked a date, be sure to mark your calendar 7 days before to call and confirm.  This is very important.  If you can’t keep the appointment you must call and give as much notice as possible - at least 7 days.  Many of the make-up artists fly in from all over the world to build their portfolios.  So it is essential that we have the right number of models/actors for each artist.  If you didn’t show up there would be a make-up artist with no one to work on.  You must take the responsibility to call seven days ahead to confirm and to let us know well in advance if you have to cancel.  If you have to cancel at the last minute you must send us someone to take your place.  This is a wonderful opportunity for you to get some great photos, with make-up application included, at no charge. But we do require that you take responsibility for everything listed above.  And you must be on time.
