Do I have to be a professional model?
Nope. ISM is all about exploring and celebrating women of all shapes, sizes, ages, backgrounds etc.
As long as you can hold a camera and aim it at yourself we are interested in exhibiting your shots.
Do I have to be young?
Yes, you have to be less than 107 to participate, or have clearance from a registered medical practitoner.
Do I have to be over 18?
Yes, Project ISM is for grownups. We will need to see 2 examples of government issued photo I.D (passport, drivers license etc)
How come there are no guys on the site?
In case you don't get it yet, part of the Project_ISM credo is to satirise internet trafficking
of the female nude. Here, women have the opportunity to be in control of their own image.
Can I send you pictures of somebody else or get someone else to take my pics?
Maybe you should read the name of the site again.
Can i use a remote or timer?
That would make it a bit difficult to tell if you took the shots yourself.
You need to have one hand (or other body part) on the camera at all times.
How many shots do i have to submit?
We ask you to submit at least 120 pics in your final folio.
Of these 120, we will pick out around 40-50 of the ones we think are the best.
How nude do I have to get?
Completely naked. What you do from there is totally up to you.
We want the shoot to reflect how you were feeling at the time so if you're feeling adventurous
don't be censoring yourself, but we'll use our discretion about what's available to the public.
Since the public images can be viewed by minors and most countries are archaically prudish in
this regard, we reserve the more explicit images for paying sponsors, who are all over 18.
What formats do you accept?
We generally only accept digital images in .jpg format, at minimum 1600x1200 resolution.
Pretty much any digital camera with at least 2 megapixels will give you that.
Do you guarantee to accept my photos?
We ask you to submit a sample before we commission you to go ahead. Once you're
commissioned, we guarantee to accept your folio if it is of similar standard to the sample,
there are enough shots, and your I.D. is acceptable.
When do I get paid?
We process payment once we accept your folio and have received your signed release forms. So typically, a few days after we
get your forms, provided everything checks out. Your folio won't appear until well after you're paid.
Who owns the copyright for my pictures?
The Project does, once we've paid you. You can email copies to your grandmother
by all means, but you can't make money from them through any other channels, and you
can't allow them to appear anywhere else on the internet. And of course you can't
submit a folio which has already been published elsewhere, or which somebody has copyright over.
I sent you my application, why didn't you write back?
It could also be that we did write back and the email went into your junk mail folder.
If you did everything right and you still haven't heard from us after a few days,
email us again from a different email address and mention that you tried from another email account.
