Movember shoot
A print and video Movember-themed campaign is looking for “approachable-looking, positive guys with warm facial expressions.” Performers will need to look straight-to-camera, so would ideally have experience of photographic shoots. Importantly, performers need to currently have stubble, or a beard or moustache, and be willing to shave these off on the day.

They are looking for male performers of any ethnicity. The photographic shoot is 3–4 September, with the video shooting 7–8 September.
