Free Portrait Giveaway

wink

Looking for headshots or portfolio pictures but can’t afford it? Yeah? Then how’s free sound?

Jakob and I are giving away a portrait session, and all you need to do is move your fingertips around a little bit to get it. Here’s the breakdown.

What:

What do you win? Well, you’re getting some kick-ass pictures for one thing. They’ll be delivered to you on a disk and you’re on your way. At the very least, you’ll have one heck of a new profile picture on whatever social media site you choose to use, so why not give it a go! The portrait session will be 1 – 2 hours and you’ll get a minimum of 10 high resolution images.

How:

To be eligible, you need to do two things

1. Tweet this message on your Twitter account: “ RT @jakobg @allan_cole http://bit.ly/81ewVZ http://bit.ly/5g0oIV #freeportraits “

2. Leave a comment with your name at either http://bit.ly/81ewVZ or http://bit.ly/5g0oIV (your choice). The comment section that you need to post in are located at the bottom of the posts!

That’s it.

When:

From the eligible entries, we will randomly select one winner and post a video on both sites November 26th, 2009.

Where:

This contest is open to anyone in the world (sure!) but the photos will be taken downtown Vancouver. So, if you’re willing to travel then by all means enter!

Looking forward to seeing the entries!

Cole & Jakob

How could this not be the best thing I have seen today??? I am officially throwing my name in this ring! You are one of the best photographers I have seen in ages. Awesome eye, awesome composition, brilliant colours. You rock, and I am happy to tell everyone I know about you and your new ventures! Great promotion, people would be fools not to take you up on this.

I saw your msgs on my twitter (@threesixtykelly) that were telling me to come leave a comment after I RT your contest…so here I am! Took a look around on the website – great work!!! I’m always amazed since I am brutal at taking pics myself. Did anyone else notice that it said you were selecting a winner and posting on Nov. 26th 2010?? Is that true or did you mean 2009??

ColeNovember 24, 2009 - 11:17

Kelly – Man oh man Jakob and I skipped that detail haha – It’s 2009. As in today! We’ll randomly select the winner today sometime and post it tonight. Thanks again for entering and we’ll get you a ‘not brutal’ picture should you win! Cheers!

Caree BrayNovember 24, 2009 - 11:52

Hot pics! I want you to make me look like that too!

Melissa ProulxNovember 24, 2009 - 12:00

I love your style. Colour full but not cheesy! :)

ColeNovember 24, 2009 - 12:09

Caree – Easy! No problem! Super hot pics coming right up if you win haha :)

Melissa – Cheesy – yikes I never want that! I am a big fan of the colour thing though!

Thanks to you both for checking out the contest / site. Jakob and I will pick the winner today!
