I'm not a douche. (Image by Mattes.)

Do you own a monster costume? Have free time? Photo Shoot!

Hey there,

So, assuming you didn’t just click on this link for shits and giggles and you actually *have* a monster suit, consider the following: I’m an amateur photographer who loves shooting portraiture and city scapes. I’m looking to start a new photo series of someone in a monster suit doing normal things around the city. Possibly multiple people in monster suits. Aiming for an ultimate set of 24, and thus want to get shots all over the place (commuting, hot dog stand, shit faced on the LES on a Friday night wondering when it was that “that whole goddamned neighborhood became DISNEYLAND!!!”, shopping on Madison Ave., etc.)

You get out of it :
photos of yourself in a monster suit all over the city. Will be able to show to your grandchildern (“Yes! That was me! I had blue fur back then cause everyone thought it was hot.” “Grandpa!”) and / or print out and put up on your wall to impress fellow hipsters / bankers / rastas / Park Slope moms. Also: shit tons of fun. Drinking can be plausibly involved in this on a case by case basis.

You are asked to:
– have a full body, face-covering monster costume. More ridiculous and huge the better. Best is one without a recognizable face (think Cousin It from Addams Family).
– have some free time and a flex schedule. We can do this whenever. Weekdays daytime might be ideal.
– not be a douche (sorry, douches)

That is all! Email me a pic / description of your monster suit and let’s get this shit started.
