I'm the President and Photographer for Kota Collective Productions and the project we are currently doing "The Crayon Box Project"
we are a collective group of individuals that create free to participate in photography projects, all are invited and everything is provided for you

Mission
to give an opportunity to those people who would never get a chance to feel beauty and model to do so. The studio itself is called the imaginarium of beautiful altered realities. Where a size 16 can flaunt her shit like she's a size 2. It's all about feeling comfort in your own skin and having one hellava damn good photographer immortalized you just like that, and it's free to participate.

This is a sponsored photography series by Kota Collection Productions and De Ce Collins titled "The Crayon Box" and we are looking for more nonmodels and models to volunteer.
The details are listed below, please send myself or Kristy Natole a friend request with a message letting us know who you are if you are interested in being a part of this project and Kristy will contact you with contact information and set up a consultation to meet me, any and all shapes, sizes and colors are welcome as noted in the details, the purpose of this project is to show real people, possibly afraid to express themselves, and giving them a medium to do so and to show that everyone can be beautiful. We are currently located in the Berks County/Lebanon County area of Pennsylvania

The Crayon Box is going to be a collection of photos of my own design, basically I'm coming up with ideas, how they will fit into a theme and putting them all together as a collection, during that process I'll be posting some of the photos over at kickstarter to hopefully get more funding for the project since I'm pretty much funding the entire thing myself, and hopefully, possibly get this made into an album/book

the distinguishing factors about the photos is I'm not hiring "models" per say, with little to no experience that want their money and in and out the door as quickly as possibly, actually considering all the money I'm putting out for everything I couldn't afford to do that even if I wanted to

so, I invested in everything I would possibly need to start up this idea of mine, I made a makeshift dressing room, bought wardrobe, built a vanity, stocked it with make up, decorated the shit out of the place and built a studio...the idea is I want people with no experience, that don't think they could model, people that want to be a part of something artistic but don't know how, or don't know how to express themselves, that want to actually get to know me and everyone else involved and most importantly I wanted to make something to show that no matter who you are, how old you are, how tall, short, overweight, skinny, race, culture, beliefs, political affiliations (lol)
that I can take absolutely anyone and make that shot into something beautiful. I know a lot of people have asked, "but what is it?" well, I don't really have a "style" so this is gonna be tough to explain, this is gonna be a collection of photographs, some will have nudity, some won't, some will be brutal and visceral and some will be beautiful and appeasing to the eyes, some will be emotional, touching on sensitive subjects I have opinions on, some will be pin up, some will be bdsm bondage, some will disturbing material, some of them are gonna be something you'd wanna hang on your wall, some will be pretty, some will be very victorian-like, some will be minimalist and completely bare, some will be glamor and fashion, some we're gonna do just for the fuck of it because we can......it's gonna be a collection of everything, every color, hence, the crayon box, that and I'm building a lifesize crayon box with people in it painted different colors for a shot.

I want everyone and anyone to be a part of this and everyone to have a blast doing it, i want everyone's input on everything, if you like it, if you hate it, etc. and it's very important to me that people from all different backgrounds and past and different life stories are involved and I know about them so I base a photograph around their own life AND its a girl, or guys dream come true, we have a full studio, dressing room, vanity stocked with sephora products, and wig and wardrobe section that would put most stores to shame and it's all free to use.

all my models are non-models, that's the whole point of the project
