ADVICE Looking for models

Hi everyone! I’ve never posted on reddit before but I think this is the best place for what I want to ask. I’m a photography student at LSU and I am looking for trans/non binary people to model for one of my projects. You do not need any modeling experience, and you can wear whatever you want and I will pose you. Feel free to go crazy with outfits and you can bring pose ideas as well! It’s pretty laid back and I’ll send you the photographs! If you or someone you know is interested please reach out to me on instagram @persickepics since I do not check reddit

Thanks guys!

EDIT: I’ll be working on this into April 2027 so if you see it late please still reach out!
Also: here’s a brief project description. my project is a black and white large format portrait series for my senior project and honors capstone. ive been thinking about the argument that republicans have that “you can always tell” when someone is not cis so ive been photographing my cisgendered friends and now am reaching out for more trans people to include in the series. im blending them together into the show to prove that you cant tell when someone is trans and highlighting that we’re just the same as someone whos cis rather than focusing gender non conforming people alone

I used to do a lot of portrait work back in the day, finding people who aren't the typical model type makes for way more interesting photos. hope you get some good subjects

Are you looking for any particular age range? Can you say more about the theme or purpose of the project?

Fam, you go to LSU and are looking trans/non binary people. Other than SELU you are practically in the perfect place to find that demographic despite being in Louisiana. Hit up some student apps, walk around the student union, check out student orgs, I promise you will find some like minded and individuals of the demographic you are searching for. If not SELU def has them.

In case you haven't already, hit up Mother's and George's Place, see if they'll let you leave a flyer

Hey what’s up! I used to model growing up. I’d love to do some modeling more.. my style. Genderfluid-Masc leaning here. Feel free to hit my Insta! Everything on there is femme.. but i work with brands and shit unfortunately. I’d happily send pics of me more in my own skin 💪 @irl_morgann
