Shooting in Los Angeles

Why Los Angeles

Los Angeles is the home of the American film industry, and the Getty holds one of the major photography collections in the United States.

We want to photograph real Angelenos, not industry models. If you've never modeled before, that's fine.

Its gallery scene includes the downtown Arts District and Culver City.

You're welcome to apply from Santa Monica, Long Beach, Pasadena, Burbank and Orange County.

In their own words

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.
