I do hope you are able to help me. I am a Photo Producer and have been requested to search for a number of people for an upcoming photo shoot. Now I know this may come as a strange request however I can explain what it is for and why we are doing so...

Selle Royal is a bike saddle manufacturer and has been running a campaign to support real cyclists. That said their mission statement is;

" TO PRODUCE THE MOST COMFORTABLE SADDLES IN THE WORLD, SADDLES THAT QUITE SIMPLY ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO ENJOY RIDING "

I have been asked to find a suitable candidate, a real person, no models or actors to take part in our photo shoot for Selle Royal's campaign to support real cyclists.

I am looking for one of the following:
A Horticulturist or keen Gardener (with own garden)
A Fabric or Fashion Designer
A Scientist
A Greenpeace Supporter

The shots would involve photographing the person in their home and in their own environment, riding their bike (or one that can be supplied by us) and them in either their workplace. The photo shoot will be taking place in early March and we can offer a fee of £500 for the day's shoot.

I would really appreciate it, if you could ask around your group or think about any suitable candidates that would be interested in this fun opportunity. All I will need at this stage is some interest and then I may need to meet with them and have a couple of snapshots of them sent to me.

Please do respond to this email, even if you don't feel you can help. for further info on Selle Royal please visit http://www.selleroyal.com/ also the Photographer is Frank Herholdt http://www.frankherholdt.com/

Please do not hesitate to get in touch should you have any questions.

Many thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards
Natasha

I guess "fashion designer" is the one that one of you might fit.

For £500 for a day's work I can be any of those! :-)

dogs is a scientist..

You've got a convincing "environment" to prove you're one of those?

Yeah but he's not very photogenic is he? Especially in that mankini.

I have a garden!

Me too !
and a vegetable patch...

Last year I grew me own beans so i did

I have a piece of fabric.

I'm holding out for the Brooks shoot that requires a useless media whore.

Well... email Natasha.

She'll be inundated... she only needs 1 person.

+1, his face looks like Dogsballs...

yeah but that mankini surely qualifies as a "green piece supporter".

I won't even bother with my coat, that was awful.

how about scott not for fashion?

I disagree, that kind of wit should be applauded:-)

Whoever is interested should email Natasha... her details are in the first post.

Whoever thinks someone else should do it, should forward it to them and they should email Natasha.

Whoo I'm a scientist, I am currently extremely broke, plus I look good riding naked!
