• Collect and submit required metadata (e.g., height, weight, basic measurements)
• Collect and submit a signed model release form for each participant

Requirements

• Smartphone or camera capable of producing high‑quality images (minimum 1080×720; higher resolution preferred)
• Ability to follow strict visual and technical guidelines
• Comfort with full‑body photography (no nudity required)
• Ability to source and coordinate real participants (18+)

Who Can Apply
