Bend talent

We work with real people (and sometimes their dogs!) to capture them in photos/videos doing what they love to do together, with a focus on creating authentic, inclusive, and diverse visuals. This is a paid opportunity, too! Our goal is to cultivate belonging through storytelling and representation. We want everyone to see themselves reflected in our visual assets – including but not limited to people who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Person of Color) and individuals and families of all sexualities, genders, ages, physical abilities, sizes, religions, and countries of origin.

Families: Calling all adventure-loving families! We’re looking for vibrant families to bring their unique energy to our photo and video productions. Whether your crew is into snowball fights or paddleboarding, we want to capture those unforgettable moments. All families are welcome, so if you’re ready for a fun-filled experience in Bend, hit the signup button below.

Individuals: We’re searching for individuals of all ages and interests to join for our photo and video shoots. Whether you’re a couple hitting the slopes, a squad of teens chasing sunsets, or an older couple discovering new joys together, we want your vibe! If you or your pals are up for some epic Bend adventures, sign up now.
