Apply to model.
The photographs go in a printed book, never online. No experience needed.
Questions before you apply? Pay, privacy, who reads this, who you can bring.
You don't need to be a model. We're looking for real people who'd like to be in a fine art photography book.
- You're paid £120 on the day of the shoot (about €140, US$160 or A$240): per person for Riding Solo, per couple for Sunday Morning.
- The photographs in the book are never published online. We only share an outtake if you say yes to that image.
- Your application is read by Aaron, Cat and Diana, who run the studio, and we reply within a week, either way.
- You can bring a chaperone, and you choose how far the shoot goes. You can always go lower on the day.
It takes about three minutes. Questions first? Read how we keep you safe or what a first shoot is like. Your details are handled under UK and EU data-protection law (privacy policy).

I found out about Cesare House at the London World Naked Bike Ride. I've now done shoots for both Riding Solo: Men and Inside Out. Great experience. I'd recommend it to anyone on the fence.
What people ask first
Do I need modelling experience?
No. We don't work with professional models. We work with real people.
Is this paid work? How much?
Yes. Riding Solo shoots pay £120 per person and Sunday Morning shoots pay £120 per couple, for a shoot of two to three hours (or the local-currency equivalent: about €140, US$160 or A$240), paid on the day. The Inside Out add-on pays an extra £30. We never charge participants anything.
How quickly will I hear back?
We reply to every application within a week, whether or not we can offer you a shoot.
Can I stay anonymous?
You can appear under a pseudonym, and many participants do. Your face does need to be in the photographs: the books are portraits of real people.
How do you check age and ID?
Everyone must be 18 or over. On the day of the shoot we take a copy of your ID, or you can verify your ID in advance through our partner platform, EqualFrame.
Where do you shoot?
We shoot in the UK, USA, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, the Netherlands and Australia. We schedule shoots in a city once enough people there have applied, so apply wherever you are.
Will my photos appear online?
Your images are made for the printed book, which is a limited run and never published digitally. We only ever share an outtake online if you've given us permission for that specific image.
