What to expect

Majority of our photoshoots last about 2 hours or so. Participating models are expected to work with METRA Leadership & Photographer. Interact with other featured talent and photoshoot support staff. Majority of the photoshoots feature campy and sensual concepts, that calls for models to be scantily clad.

Requirements for Participating Models:

• Models must be 18 Years of Age or Older to be included. Models must be in the Michigan/Northern Ohio area. We normally take images at LGBTQ+ nightlife spaces during their quieter hours/times.
• Models are expected to arrive on time at the photoshoot suite, close to ready to be photographed. Drag artists that need additional time to put on body/wardrobe/hair is fine (your mug should be already done prior to walking on set).
• There's different themes for many of the shoots, please listen carefully to your photoshoot coordinator around what the theme is, this way everyone is ready and able to bring the vision to life.
• No additional persons are allowed on site of the photoshoot (friends/family/spouses/noone). We normally have a limited time window to make the project work. So we don't want any distractions on set that could potentially prolong the shoot.
• Models will be interacting with each other in sensual poses and stances. You'll become friends quickly and help to bring the theme for the project in collaboration with your model counterparts.
• No drugs, alcohol of any kinds on set. We want you to look and feel your best. This is a professional environment, so we run the shoots as such.
• Proper grooming for the shoot is required. Minty fresh, clean and ready to be seen! Your photoshoot coordinator will walk you through what if anything special is required.
• Nudity is sometimes called for with specific projects (where there's some kind of prop in front of genitals or your peach may be out.. This is done with grace and professionalism. Whether that's holding a towel when we're not actively shooting or assisting with making sure that everything is nipped and tucked. Our photography team understands this is a vulnerable position, so we always have several staff members on set to ensure that everyone's safety and experience is top notch.
• This is a paid gig. Just like heading to your 9-5, we expect everyone to act in a professional atmosphere, but have fun at the same time. The METRA Staff will assist with providing direction and in some cases assist with posing models.
• These images are property of METRA. We can use these images in any part of our marketing campaigns (web, socials, print or festivals). We also give models the option to have a handful of solo shots taken. We'll share these with you once they're ready.
