Model/Actor

Live Entertainment Portfolio is hiring a Model/Actor in Winter Garden, Florida to front their costume, makeup, and wig design work across a range of contracted projects. This role sits squarely in the costume and makeup department, producing portfolio and promotional photography that showcases character looks for live entertainment and production use. It suits performers who are comfortable in front of a camera and have a background in theatrical or character modeling.

About the Role

As a Model/Actor with Live Entertainment Portfolio, you will be contracted on a project-by-project basis, stepping in as the face of specific costume and makeup designs. A typical call involves sitting for hair and makeup application, working with a costume designer and wig stylist to complete a look, and then moving into a photoshoot with a photographer to capture the final character. This kind of work lives at the intersection of theatrical costume production and professional character modeling, and it builds a portfolio that speaks directly to the live entertainment and production photography markets.

Key Responsibilities

• Sit for full costume, wig, and stage makeup application sessions as directed by the costume designer and hair and makeup team.
• Work with photographers and videographers on set to deliver clean, usable images that accurately represent each costume and makeup design.
• Follow call schedules precisely, including the initial 30-minute measurement and photo session at the start of each contracted look.
• Wear elaborate theatrical costumes, styled wigs, and full stage makeup for extended photoshoot sessions.
• Communicate clearly with department leads including dressers, wig stylists, and makeup artists throughout each production day.
• Maintain consistency across a shoot and adhere to the creative brief for each individual project or character look.

What You Bring

• Prior experience as a model or actor in theatrical, live entertainment, or character-based production photography is preferred.
• Comfort wearing elaborate costumes, full wigs, and heavy stage makeup throughout extended sessions is required.
• Experience with SFX makeup applications and colored contacts is a plus and will expand the range of projects you are considered for.
• Ability to take direction on set from multiple department heads while maintaining composure and professionalism.
• Strong on-camera presence developed through modeling, theater, or costumed character performance.
