Virtual Photo Shoots

We’ve got one job these days – to stay home.

For me that means I’m out of work and feeling lost with out a camera in my hands. This whole thing feels maddening – even if we are healthy and safe at home. Inspired by many photographers during this time, I’m offering Facetime/Zoom/Web-Cam sessions.

Here’s what I’m Offering:

  • 15-20 minutes with me virtually
  • a weird way to document this wild time in your life
  • a chance to create art 
  • 5 or so awesome – but low-resolution – digital photos

Pay what you wish then pick a date: 

  1. Pay what you wish: paypal.me/jillmills3
  2. Book a Date <–Click the words, they are a link!

How does it work?

Book your time and pay what you wish via PayPal. Any amount is great – if you’re a fellow artist or out of work due to COVID-19, please do not pay. I’ll e-mail you a link to a Zoom meeting or FaceTime your phone – first you’ll walk around your space and we’ll decide where to shoot. I’ll tell you where to prop up your phone (if you have a phone stand/tripod, great! if not just lean it somewhere or use a little painters/masking tape to stick it to a wall or window – we’ll get creative with this part) I’ll direct you where and how to pose if needed but generally I’ll just document what’s happening. All the while I’ll be taking photos – basically screenshots – of you and then I’ll edit them and send over an online gallery of 5 or so images.

These images are going to be gram-worthy but they aren’t likely to make great prints – this concept is just for funsies while we’re all temporarily separate. The photos will be just okay, but you’ll feel really great making art. You might could get a cute little wallet print to brighten someone’s day but the purpose is to give you a tiny break from living in a world with a pandemic more than a physical product.

What to wear?

Wear something that isn’t distracting – solid colors work best. I love a flowy boho dress but really wear whatever you want.

What if my house isn’t pretty?

All I need is a bed, couch or chair, a blank wall, and a window. I promise we can make something cool no matter what your place looks like and these images will have a vintage-y feel so the more junk laying around, the better. Clutter is character.
