Welcome to On the Radar, where we preview upcoming events to mark your calendars for. OK, aspiring fashion plates, Saturday’s your big chance to strike a pose somewhere other than in front of your bathroom mirror. Whether you’re self-absorbed model material or just an average Joe or Jane, The Public Photo Shoot Project wants you.
The live art event, which hits Ybor City this weekend, is the brainchild of native Floridian Cigi, a self-described “professional daydreamer” with her own apparel company, The Flock. And that, my friends, is where you come in, because you’ll be modeling The Flock’s hip, minimalist clothing line for photographer Sean Deren. The company, in turn, will use your image as part of its ad campaign (head over to theflockapparel.com to see some examples). In addition to the chance to mingle with other beautiful people, you’ll get two “professional and media-friendly” photos for your time.
