Request
Choose one of the following two concepts to photograph:

Details
Special Instructions:
We would like to show a variety of people – different ages, gender and ethnicity. If shooting indoors, a cozy atmosphere, such as the kitchen table or fireside living room are both great settings. For an outdoor location please consider a location that is more rural/quiet/garden-like or something that will convey a sense of serenity and peacefulness.
Dress Code: Modest, casual or semi-formal attire.
Orientation: Any
Photo Specs: High quality. Minimum 3,600px longest edge. Tack sharp, proper exposure, edited tastefully.
Model Release:Â Each person you photograph (or the parents/guardian of the person) will need to sign a model release (like this one), even if they are your family members. You must submit model releases alongside your photo submissions.
Assignment Awards: There will be one winner chosen at random. In order to be eligible to be chosen as a winner, you must be a Lenspiration member. The winner will have the opportunity to be featured in a "Lenspiration Student Spotlight" blog post following the assignment.
