MODEL CALL- Heritage Portrait Project
A celebration of the beautiful cultures that make Buffalo home.
I’m starting a personal photography project celebrating the incredible cultural diversity of our community, and I’m looking for individuals, couples, and families who own traditional or national clothing and would love to be photographed wearing it.
Whether your roots are Ukrainian, Polish, Italian, Indian, Nigerian, Mexican, Vietnamese, Scottish, Filipino, Puerto Rican, Lebanese, Irish—or anywhere else in the world—I would absolutely love to tell your story through photographs.
The session can be elegant, emotional, joyful, or documentary-inspired. Together we’ll choose a location that complements your heritage while creating timeless portraits you’ll treasure for years.
📍 Buffalo & surrounding areas
If selected, you’ll receive:
• A complimentary portrait session
• 15 edited digital images
• The opportunity to be featured in my Heritage Portrait Project
• Option to purchase additional pictures
In exchange, you agree that the images may be used on my website, social media, and marketing materials
If this speaks to you, send me a message with:
❤️ Your cultural background
❤️ A photo of your traditional outfit you own or could rent
❤️ A little story about you and your traditions and maybe some interesting facts
I’m selecting two individuals/couples/families with older kids who are willing to pose for complimentary sessions. If additional applications are accepted, a special Heritage Model Call rate of $199 applies
Please tag friends or family who might love to participate!
Let’s celebrate the beautiful traditions that make our community so unique. ❤️
