The 2020 Winter Model Call is here! As a freelancer for several publications I am in need of fresh new photographs that publications can choose from for the following winter and any winter publications in the future.

These photoshoots will be scheduled during the next few months. Hopefully Mother Nature will cooperate and provide us with fluffy snow! If you are interested in participating and meet the requirements listed below, let’s chat! Please share this with your friends, family, and barn buddies.

Please ensure manure, jumps, poles, barrels, etc. have been removed from any arenas.
Must have uncluttered background - no excessive or broken fencing, manure or junk piles, parking lots, power lines, etc.
Must have safe and solid outdoor footing for horses trot and canter over. If you do not have an outdoor pasture or arena, or are uncomfortable with free lunging or allowing your horse to run at liberty, this shoot will not be suitable for you.
Safe horsemanship and horse keeping practices are a must.
For any kids or adults that may be included in the photographs, please dress accordingly (proper riding or barn clothes in good condition, reflecting the discipline the horse is trained in).
Any tack that is to be used during photo shoot needs to be oiled and cleaned prior to photoshoot.

My time photographing and traveling is FREE of charge!
You will receive an online gallery within two to four weeks after the photoshoot with the edited photographs (number of photographs included is left to the discretion of J.Klein Photos).
