How It Works

Is this right for you?

If you're an aspiring model, a development model, a New Face building a first portfolio, or a working model after fresh work, this is built for you. Not sure which of those you are yet? There's a short guide that breaks down the difference and what each stage needs. Looking for social media content, personal headshots, or commercial work instead? Get in touch directly, this project isn't set up for that.

Choose your slot

Browse the available times on the booking page. Each card shows the day, date, time window, and location. Slots that are already taken are shown clearly so you know at a glance what's still open, and they disappear entirely once their time has passed.

Pick your styles

Select 1 or 2 styles from the list, anything from The Little Black Dress to Downtown to After Hours. Have your own idea instead? Pick Something else and describe it.

Describe each outfit

Add a short description for each of your two outfits, colours, textures, key pieces, footwear. You source and bring your own wardrobe, there's no stylist on set. Two outfits, decided and described now, works far better on the day than arriving with extra options to choose between.

Submit your details

Add your name, email, Instagram handle, and your modelling experience, then send it through. If your chosen slot is still free, it's held for you immediately, and your application goes to Metty for a look before it's confirmed.

Your slot is held while it's reviewed

The moment you apply, that slot is yours, nobody else can take it while a decision's being made. Metty personally looks over every application before confirming, this is a genuine check, not a formality, and it's why the outfit details, Instagram, and any other links matter. Most applications are reviewed quickly. Once approved, you'll get a real confirmation email with everything attached, so use an email address you check, that email is the only place the exact time, place, and every other detail lives.

Tip, once confirmed, tap the calendar invite to add it directly to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook. No app required.

Booked at a studio? You'll get a separate follow-up email closer to the day with exact directions, which entrance to use, and which door once you're inside.

A reminder, two days out

48 hours before your session, you'll get a reminder email with the date, time, location, and styles confirmed, so it's front of mind and there's nothing to double check. If you applied with less than 48 hours' notice, there isn't time for a separate reminder, so the same details are already included in your confirmation email instead.

Need to cancel or move your session?

Every confirmation and reminder email includes a link to manage your booking. Follow it to either cancel outright or move to a different open time, you'll be asked a quick reason for cancelling, just so Metty has context, then he's notified automatically and the calendar invite updates to match. Cancelling frees the slot up for someone else immediately.

Meeting, and your first look

Arrive a few minutes early at the meeting point from your confirmation email, already in your first outfit, with the rest ready to change into. We usually start right there, often in whatever you arrived wearing, to ease into the session.

Moving through your looks

From there we shift through nearby locations as we shoot. Roughly an hour in, we move on to your next look, though the timing flexes depending on how a location or a look is going, or if you've brought a third outfit that needs fitting in.

Direction, and making it yours

I'll encourage you to try things you might not usually do, and I'm also happy to direct when it helps. Nothing is ever forced. If something doesn't feel right, we simply won't do it, but I will push you towards things you're curious to try. Movement matters more than a perfect pose. Standing still rarely makes for an interesting frame, and sometimes the strangest, most unexpected shapes end up being the most interesting shots of the day.

Wrapping up

Once time's up, you're free to make your own way to wherever you're headed next. No lingering, no admin, the session just ends naturally.

Editing and delivery

Afterward I go through every frame, select the strongest images, and edit them properly. Once that's done, you'll get an email with a Lightroom gallery link, so you can view everything and download whichever images you want, whenever suits you.
