Hello fellow students and alumni!

My name is Leia Guo and I am a student photographer currently studying at AUArts. I specialize in providing editorial on location shoots for entrepreneurs and professional product photography. I am also very passionate about supporting the Calgary community and believe in using my skills to help those in need. I am currently working on my portfolio and wish to collaborate with a local small business in Calgary on a FREE editorial photoshoot this next month!

I am looking for small businesses, non-profit organizations, or emerging artists in Calgary that:

- Are available for at least one 3 hour shoot safely at their storefront or studio space from January 30 - February 19
- Have been affected negatively by COVID-19 and have had to adapt their business practices in response
- Have a strong visual online presence, through social media, websites, or online shops
- Need photographs of their staff, products, or workspaces for online marketing 
- Give back to their community in some way (donations of product or service, hosting events and artists, mentoring, ect.) and share my attitude of pay it forward!

Please go to leiaguo.com to view my full portfolio.

Limited spots are available for this opportunity! I am reserving 1 photoshoot in early February just for AUArts students and alumni, in the interest of working with other artists. If you or anyone you know is interested, please contact me at leiaguoarts@gmail.com with the answers to the following information:

1. Your name, contact info, and business website/social media
2. A short description of what your business is about
3. How you are involved with the Calgarian community, as an individual or as a business
4. Do you have a workspace/store location to shoot in safely? (I will not work in locations that violate current COVID-19 restrictions. Let's keep each other safe!)
5. What kind of photos you are looking for in this collaboration

To be considered, please contact me by January 29th at 11:59pm. I will get back to applications within 48 hours of submission. Please note that this opportunity is COLLABORATIVE, meaning that I will be trading my time and skill with your time and effort to create photographs that will benefit us both! :)
