Who are We Looking For?

ANY class of 2025 senior can be a model in our program! We base our decisions not only on looks but on personality, activities, and eagerness to be in our program. We are looking for seniors who are outgoing, comfortable in front of the camera, and who are interested in community service to positively impact others.

More Info

(of course, if your application is accepted we’ll go over the program in detail with you and your parents before you commit to anything)
 

  • All models agree to have their senior portraits photographed in the Fall semester of their senior year or the summer before.
     

  • Chosen models are not allowed to promote any other photographer from the time of commitment until graduation.
     

  • Participate in model sessions throughout the year so you can try out different looks, awesome locations and have fun with the team, at no additional cost.

What Will You Get?

  • Models get to participate in themed photo shoots throughout the year in addition to their own personalized senior session. In the past we have collaborated with fashion designers, professional stylists, retail stores and other professionals working in the fashion industry to create unique experiences only offered to the #OPPSenior team.
     

  • You will be featured in our advertising and on our website and social media.
     

  • You can earn hundreds in "BONUSES" if any of your friends have a session completed with Optical Poetry and tell us you sent them.


  • NOTE: If you recruit other MODELS, you get the SAME bonuses, hint, hint, go grab your friends, get them to apply and let's have the most fun senior year ever! Yes, we'll do a friend group session with all of the models you recruited and YOU, of course!

What Cost is Involved?

  • There is no additional fee to be a model. #OPPSenior Models simply must have their senior portraits done by Optical Poetry. The minimum package requirement is our Limerick, which is $199 with a $699 minimum product purchase. Check out our experiences and product prices HERE
     

  • Social sharing images from the model sessions will be provided at no additional cost. Full size digitals and print products can also be purchased from these images.
