The program is designed for models, dancers, actors, social media influencers, or any individual wanting experience in front of the camera and content to share on social media – in return the model will help promote us and our photography business. While being one of the faces of d-Squared Designs and a go-to model, you will receive various discounts and perks. The team will participate in themed individual/group stylized shoots, make friends and be given incredible images for social media content, model portfolio building and more! This 4-month program is available to anyone between the ages of 5-25. You can live anywhere – but most of our photoshoots will take place in or around Bonne Terre, MO. Some photoshoots will also be near or around the St. Louis area. VERY limited spots are available!
