The models featured in this gallery have successfully completed a test photosession with Lightwavephotography and are now in the eligible group for all assignments/projects they fit.

Featured models are reliable(on time for sessions), have an excellent look, follow directions well and bring appropriate wardrobe.

I recommend them to other professional photographers, casting agencies, promotional companies for their assignments/projects.

NOTE: IF YOU ARE A NEW MODEL CANDIDATE OR EXPERIENCED MODEL IVE INVITED FOR A TEST PHOTOSESSION TO GO INTO MY ELIGIBLE GROUP OF MODELS FOR PROJECTS/ASSIGNMENTS-REFER TO THESE PHOTOS FOR EXAMPLES OF OUTFITS YOU SHOULD WEAR TO THE PHOTOSESSION

Test Photosession Guide:

* You must be at least 18 to attend and bring valid ID proving you are at least 18
* You may bring one friend/relative that is also at least 18(also with valid ID) and may also do portrait photos with your friend/boyfriend/girlfriend/relative; nondangerous pets are also allowed for portraits with your pet.
* You may do your own hair/makeup for a natural look or bring an MUA(makeup artist) with you at your expense.
* You should bring at least one nice casual outfit(prefer solid colors, avoid logos/stripes), one dress and one optional outfit-two nice, casual outfits is also acceptable.
* Travel expenses/model fees/TFP are not offered for test sessions with new people(note some exceptions below). I pay fees to models that I am using on client paid or my own paid assignments and a new person ONLY after a test has been successfully completed to screen out wannabes, no shows and those lacking skills/appropriate looks for my projects/assignments. The only exceptions with no prior testing are well known, internationally published models in which case I state what I agree to pay for in writing/email in advance.

Note: Modeling is highly competitive and I do not guarantee any paid assignments to new people, only an opportunity to learn professional model/acting skills at no cost if invited for a test session(200 euro value, free for invited people); my time free(usually 100 euros/hour and free to go in my eligible group for future paid assignments the new model fits if tests well. I cannot use everyone that I invite for tests and I am not a model agency whose job it is to find new or established models paid assignments elsewhere.

*No experience is necessary and I teach basic model skills at the session(posing, expressions, posture, poise)
* I do not do any nude or implied nude photography
* We review the photos on the laptop and I give you feedback on how you did for improvement
* Relax, have fun and act professionally
* If you are interested in getting assignments with other photographers, companies I can feature you on this website(ranked top ten in the world) only if you were on time, have a good look verified in person and followed directions/mastered basic skills. I cannot feature people on this website that did not meet these criteria; however you can still get photos you like for your personal use/own sites.

* Photos are not sold, used or displayed without your prior permission, any photos you dont like are deleted. I keep 1 photo in my private file to refer to when I may have an assignment/project you fit.

* If you agreed/desired to be promoted/advertised on my world top ten websites and change your mind at any time, notify me by email and I will delete your photos immediately to make room for other people who are interested in getting more paid assignments/projects worldwide.

*TFP usually not available(exceptions sometimes for well known name models/performers or if look is in higher demand).

* If you decide you are not that interested in modeling you may still get your favorite photos on web and print ready CD at the session, for your own use, social networking and gifts/portraits at a reasonable rate- good, artistic, professional photos are great for presenting you for other careers and portraits that last for years; cheesy photos of you in a bar drinking do not reflect well on you for other careers besides modeling or networking sites-another reason to get good, professional photos done.

Models interested in testing for Print, Magazine, WBL, Swimsuit Calendar and other projects/assignments may email Lightwavephotography@hotmail.com for consideration.

Model candidates must include name, contact information and a current photo for consideration. Interested candidates must be at least 18, no experience necessary to go on the WBL Roster and be eligible for other modeling projects/assignments.

NOTE: I am a fulltime, professional, internationally published photographer that uses models on paid and unpaid assignments/projects. I am not a model agency and do not guarantee work for aspiring and established models. I advise people that would like to try out modeling do it for fun first as a hobby, to get professional photos which are also good for portraits and learn presentation skills(posing, expressions, poise) that are very helpful with other careers, not just modeling. Modeling when paid is highly competitive and should be approached first as a hobby or part time. If you wish to get paid assignments I suggest get professional photos done regularly(do not expect free photos from professional photographers just like we dont expect free cameras); attend paid and unpaid photosessions to get experience and network, especially with professionals; promote/advertise yourself on model sites and send your photos to casting/promotional agencies to get work.

You should be proactive and market yourself for assignments you fit(you do not have to look like a fashion model to get paid assignments, especially in
commercial/promotional modeling and acting/background/film/tv extra work; as a large variety of types are used).

* IMPORTANT NOTICE: If a model/person or competing photographer or any other entity slanders(verbal falsehood)/libels(falsehood published/printed on paper/internet, other media intended to damage reputation, interfere with business) myself, or my work, to other people or publishes on the internet in any manner that person/entity will be subject to legal action and/or lawsuits for financial damages.
