Volunteer as a Nature Photo Model in New Hampshire
Help The Nature Conservancy tell the story of conservation in New Hampshire! We’re building a list of volunteer photography models to participate in upcoming photo shoots on our preserves across the state. These images help us show the many ways people engage with the outdoors—from families exploring the trails to individuals sketching in the shade, identifying plants or lending a hand with stewardship work.

About This Opportunity
We conduct photo shoots throughout the year to highlight recreation, connection and care for nature on the lands we protect. These photos are used across our website, social media channels, publications, and educational materials to support conservation and inspire others to get outside.
Volunteering as a photo model is a great way to spend time outdoors while helping us share the true variety of experiences people enjoy in New Hampshire’s natural spaces. No modeling experience is required—just a willingness to participate in activities you already love!
