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 currently looking for parents with small children or teens to bring their unique energy to our photo and video productions. This winter we want to capture the wonder of young children experiencing snow, wearing cute snowsuits, and heading out to play, ski, or sled. If your teens shred at the terrain park, love to cross-country ski, or sled at Wanoga, get in touch. 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 that identify as Millennial or Gen X to join our photo and video shoots. Whether you’re a couple hitting the slopes or a squad of friends chasing sunsets, we want your vibe! If you or your pals are up for some epic Bend adventures, sign up now.
