Capture Collective - Photography Shootout

An experienced photographer will be on site to answer any questions. We will use the neon bike studio (2pm-3pm), colorful walls (3pm-4pm), and white french loft (4pm-5pm).

A specific photographer to model ratio is not guaranteed.

Photographers:

• Must bring your own professional camera (e.g., DSLR).
• Provide camera model via email
• The fee includes a $50 refundable deposit. (The rest is nonrefundable.) Each photographer will be given a private dropbox folder to submit their photos. Deposit will be refunded if at least 40 photos (i.e., at least 10 per hr shot) are submitted within 2 weeks of the event. If you would prefer to charge models for photo edits, you are welcome to. Please note that you are NOT required to submit photos. The deposit is just forfeited if the minimum amount is not uploaded by 8/4/24 2:00 pm.
• Light set up will be provided by the house photographer. You can rent a trigger with a valid ID from FD studios if you want additional lights (max 2 light stands).
• Will receive a model release.

Models: Must bring your own clothes (you can bring multiple)

• Please note that not every photographer will submit photos. These events are sometimes a learning opportunity for photographers. If you do not receive any content (free or purchasable) within 3 weeks, you will receive a full refund. Otherwise, the fee is nonrefundable.
• Each model will get 5-10 min of posing time per station in each room
• You are welcome to capture BTS.
• Required to sign a photo release.

Other:

• Photographers and models are free to exchange information to collaborate in the future.
• No nudity. Partial nudity permitted.
• We're trying to open a dance studio and would prefer you purchase through Kickstarter (you would avoid EB fees)

FAQ:

Q: Could you explain the deposit part/charging the models? We’d submit 40 photos to the drop box but could also charge the models? I’m unclear on that.

A: So the admission for photographers include a $50 deposit. You pay $200 and after you submit 40 photos, you get $50 back so it’s technically $150. The photo submission is to ensure each model gets at least something for participating! But photographers don’t have to submit, they can just keep the photos to themselves or sell them to the models. Option to not submit is forfeiting the $50.
