Apply to Be a HachiMedia Model

FotoVentures by HachiMedia hosts premium international photography trips. We bring together professional photographers and a small roster of models in destinations like Tokyo, Osaka, Las Vegas, and Iceland. Tell us about yourself and we will be in touch about upcoming events you might be a fit for.

Section 1 -- Who You Are

Used for trip coordination. Include country code.

Optional. Model Mayhem, personal site, Behance, etc.

You must be 21 years of age or older before the start of any trip you join. The earliest currently scheduled trip starts November 8, 2026.

Your passport must expire at least 6 months after the start of any international trip you apply for. For November 2026 trips, that means your passport must be valid through at least May 2027. If you don't have a current passport yet, enter an estimated date based on when you plan to renew.

Emergency Contact

Who should we call if something happens during the trip? Required for international travel.

Include country code so we can reach them from anywhere.

Compensation Structure

FotoVentures uses a paid-participation model: models attend trips by paying a participation fee, similar to how photographers do. The fee covers your accommodation, in-trip transportation, and shared trip logistics. You are not paid for modeling -- the value exchange is the experience itself, the portfolio you build, and access to the photographers and locations.

You can offset your participation fee through our photographer referral program: every photographer you refer who registers and pays for a FotoVentures trip earns you a referral bonus credited toward your participation fee. Specific dollar amounts and trip-specific fees will be shared if you're selected.

Code of Conduct

The standards we hold for all FotoVentures trips:

  • Respect the time, comfort, and consent of all photographers, models, and locals
  • Show up on time and prepared for scheduled shoots
  • No drugs or excessive alcohol during shoot hours; nothing that compromises safety
  • Communicate clearly about boundaries, concerns, or changes
  • Treat any complaints (yours or others') with the seriousness they deserve
  • No harassment of any kind. Period.

Photo Usage Rights

Photographers attending FotoVentures trips retain copyright of their individual photos and may share or license them according to their own agreements with you. By participating, you grant FotoVentures non-exclusive rights to use your likeness in marketing materials (website, social media, future event promotions). Specific image-use terms will be in the Modeling Agreement signed before any trip is confirmed.

Trip Selection & Final Agreement

We'll review your application and respond within 1-2 weeks. We may follow up with additional questions, an interview, or invite you to be considered for a specific upcoming trip.
