Florida Americana

Casting Call: Florida Americana: Cinematic Editorial Shoot at a Classic Diner

Concept We’re creating an editorial photo series inspired by cinematic Americana. Think luxury meets grit — a glamorous, larger-than-life character set against the fluorescent glow, chrome counters, and tiled booths of a late-night, classic American diner.

What I’m Looking For I need a model who can embody this character and handle styling. That means you’ll be responsible for:

• Wardrobe: Elegant, dramatic outfits (examples: jewel tones, bold yellows, sleek black, structured whites). Dresses or separates that feel more “cocktail” than “casual diner”
  • For inspiration, see the wardrobe inspo board here. It captures the mix of strong color, retro glamour, and bold presence that will make the styling pop against the diner backdrop
• Hair: Voluminous, retro-inspired, or styled with cinematic presence
• Makeup: Strong editorial look — bold lips, defined eyes, skin polished for high contrast under fluorescent lighting

Why This Matters The tension of the shoot comes from contrast: the everyday diner environment vs. your elevated styling and presence. Your wardrobe and styling choices are key to making this vision work.

Location Orlando, Florida area (specific location TBD).

Date/Time Flexible October 2 or 3, but ideally an evening/night shoot to take advantage light conditions.

Compensation Paid or TFP depending on experience.

Requirements

• Comfortable taking the lead on wardrobe, hair, and makeup.
• Expressive with eyes and gestures (this is as much about acting as modeling).
• Able to provide 2–3 outfit options in the selected palette (I can provide direction on colors/styles ahead of time).

How to Apply

• Send portfolio and a quick note on your experience with styling yourself.
• Share a few wardrobe examples you could bring that fit the theme.
