Bijoux Rouge is offering a new promotion for people in the modeling and photography industry. I’m looking for teams of people (minimum of a model and photographer), to create unique concepts utilizing my designs. I will be offering free sample products to the teams for photographing, and the samples may be kept by the teams.

What You Get:

- free product, to keep/use/give away
- opportunity to work with some new people in the industry
- full credit for photos you work with a team on
- links to your portfolios from my website and Facebook page
- Twitter mentions, and Facebook mentions

What I Require:

- a committed team to produce unique photographs of the products you get
-  a minimum of 5 edited photos from the shoot, showcasing the product
- Information for each person on the team, so that I can give proper credit

Photos from the shoot should be:

- tasteful. No nudes, fetish, blood, or latex. Sorry, but that’s not currently my market.
- quality. Please take a look at previous product shots taken for Bijoux Rouge – I’m looking for high quality, not grainy, crisp images.
- feminine. My products are very chic and feminine in nature. The ability to capture that in a shoot is a huge plus.
- unique. I want teams to put their own spin on the concepts they use. I don’t mind if there is crazy-amazing make up, hair, etc. with the jewelry and accessories, as long as you capture them all well.
- I prefer un-watermarked photos for use on printed materials such as posters, display cards, etc; however, I realize there may be concerns regarding copyright and protection of work. Watermarked photos may be sent, along with a copy of un-watermarked photos. I will display watermarked copies online, and reserve the non-watermarked photos for offline. If there is a watermark, it must not distract from the products or take away from the picture.

Ideally, each person in the creative team will be able to utilize photos from the shoot in their portfolio. I give cudos and credits to each person on the team, and I like to promote people who help me out. Because I only create a small quantity of each of my products, and most of them are one of a kind, I am offering this promo very selectively. If you’re interested in borrowing demo pieces (and will return them) for shoots, please contact me and I’ll see what I can put together for you.

Please email me at katrinna@bijouxrouge.ca if you’re interested. In your email, please state your role in the team, and the other members of your team. Products will be mailed to the team organizer if it isn’t possible to meet in person.

It’s hard to believe that winter is on the way again. I guess it never really isn’t on the way, but it is so much closer now than previously. Along with winter weather, I’ve been designing winter accessories. I’ve got many new earring designs, which are already out on the market for sale at Uranus and Bliss Boutique. Feathers will also be making an appearance for the first time in my jewelry designs, and will be adorning earrings and necklaces. Perhaps you’ll even see some fancy, dancy, dainty hair clips too!

Bijoux Rouge designs will be featured in some photos taken by Karen McKinnon for Roots the Salon in Courtenay. The salon styled a shoot to showcase their beautiful hair and make up work, and some Bijoux Rouge accessories made it into the photos. I’ll post some for you as soon as I see them. I can only imagine how beautiful they are!

In the last long while since I’ve updated and posted here on the site, a lot has happened. I’ve recently celebrated my fifth wedding anniversary, I won a contest and got to be a pinup model for a day, and have also been offered an exotic student exchange. So much to do and think of! I’d love to hear what’s been going on for everyone else out there. You can tell me on my Facebook Page, through Twitter, or by commenting here. Tell me your stories. Tell me your life.

I am devastated by the disasters in Japan, as I’m sure all of you are as well. I would like to do a little something to help out – and while I realize that I can’t do a lot, every little bit will help. You can help as well.

By ordering a custom necklace pendant from me, by March 31, 2011, you can benefit yourself and help out the people in Japan that have been struck by disaster. Read on to find the details on how to go about ordering your pendant. Each pendant will come with a black leatherette necklace cord, so they are ready to wear. You can easily transfer the pendant to a silver necklace chain or any other chain you have. You can use your own picture, or choose from one of the pre-selected pictures I have to offer. I will be donating 50% of profits from these pendants to the Red Cross society to help their efforts in Japan.
