Want to model?
Carlton is always looking for interesting and beautiful people to photograph – people of all ages, colors, shapes, and sizes. He works with both amateurs and professionals, and experience isn't necessarily required. Although many things are considered, your look is your most important qualification... and the right look depends on the needs of each particular project. If you want to get involved, there are two ways:
Got it booked?
Being prepared will help you to get the very best out of your experience. Here is some general information.
On the day of your shoot:
Plan to arrive well-rested and on time. Limit your use of makeup and/or styling products. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that will not leave indentations or marks on your skin. Women should also bring nude/skin-colored underwear that can be effectively hidden under clothing.
Releases.
Every model must sign a release after every shoot. You will not be compensated without a signed release, and if you have any questions or concerns about the release, you should discuss them with the photographer as soon as possible (and definitely before the day of the shoot). Examples of the standard release form are posted here for your review. If a different (non-standard) release is needed for you or your shoot, that will be handled directly.

Proof of Age & Models Under 18.
You may be asked for proof of age. Models younger than 18 years old must have permission to be photographed from a parent or guardian, and will be required to have a parent or authorized legal proxy co-sign their releases. Minors may also be required to have an appropriate chaperone with them on set.
Guests.
In most cases, you are welcome to bring guests with you to your shoot... but you MUST get approval ahead of time. Guests are your responsibility, and may not interfere with the work or the creative process.
Questions.
If you have any questions at all, don't hestitate to ask! It's always better to be sure ahead of time than to find out too late that you don't know.
