Faces Wanted
High Contrast are participating in an online experimental art project called Facity International, and are offering anyone the chance to have their picture taken and be submitted to the project. Male or female, young our old, everyone is welcome to participate!
We only require about 10-15 mins of the participant’s time and for them to visit our office in West Didsbury, Manchester.
The final image will be submitted to Facity, our Facebook page, our own website and possibly a local exhibition. This is a great opportunity to meet us and get yourself noticed among the international fashion and photography communities. Participation is completely free and you will receive a medium-res digital copy of your chosen image.
If you’re interested in taking part, simply drop us an email with the words ‘Interested in Facity‘ in the subject line to shoot@highcontrast.co.uk and we’ll email you further information and a list of available time-slots.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Look, Listen and Earn.
We recognize that people listen to the ‘community’ not to the company.
Look, Listen and Earn.
Main stream media is downsizing, new voices are gaining influence. Search is the new circulation, people seek out the information they require and no longer sit back and listen passively.
Colleagues, friends, word of mouth have far greater credence than traditional marketing techniques. Social Marketing has created a fundamental shift in the prominence and impact of communities and word of mouth.
All companies should be engaging in, contributing to and monitoring these conversations. Who is talking about you? What is said about you? Who is linking to you? Brands that talk to and engage with their communities of interest can create a consumer base that is knowledgeable, engaged, responsive, helpful and, most of all, spends money!
Using tools such as Twitter, Facebook, Podcasting, Youtube, Flikr, Yahoo Widgets and blog writing, brands can ensure that their business is not left out of the conversation. 
Behind the scenes from one of our shoots
We’d love to hear what you think - we’re hoping to make more of these in the future if popular.
