Casting Call – Beacon, NY Please do not apply if you do not live close to Beacon, NY. This is a short shoot (1–3 hours max) grounded in themes of American identity, class, and gesture. We're looking for people with presence—faces that hold something, even in stillness. You would be captured as yourself, not a caricature. All genders, body types, and backgrounds encouraged. Must be comfortable being photographed in simple American basics, whatever is in your wardrobe, focusing on what you feel most comfortable in. Real people, performers, or models. If you think you are it, you most likely are. Chase Middleton is an Australian-born artist and photographer based in New York, whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Interview Magazine and ID magazine. A graduate of Yale’s MFA Photography program, Middleton has exhibited internationally at institutions including Villa Noailles, the National Portrait Gallery of Australia, and Yancey Richardson Gallery. Recent residencies include ISCP in Brooklyn, Villa Lena in Italy, and The Potato Farm Project in North Fork, NY.
