Photo Shootout: Capture Collective

An experienced photographer will lead a workshop to teach others how to take photos in the white room (portraits only, no aerial, 2pm - 3pm), and rain room (3pm - 5pm, includes 9ft portable aerial rig 3:30pm - 4:30pm, portraits first & last 30 min). Ai & an assistant can provide as-needed guidance to models on how to pose. If you can werk it on your own, we'll just fangirl doing BTS videos of you.

A specific photographer to model ratio is not guaranteed.

Photographers:

• Must bring your own professional camera (e.g., DSLR).
• Provide camera model at least 3 days prior to event.
• 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 2/2/25 2:00pm.
• 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.
• Will receive a model release.

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

• Please note that this event is a workshop. If you do not receive any content (free or purchasable from at least 1 photographer) within 3 weeks, you will receive a full refund. Otherwise, the fee is nonrefundable.
• Each model will get 10-20 min of posing time (may be simultaneously with another model) in each room, depending on the number of registrations.
• You are welcome to capture BTS.
• No Aerial (white room & rain room): You'd only pose standing, doing floorwerk, or using any available prop (e.g., apple boxes, chair)
• Aerial (rain room): You'd only pose in the rain room because we will only set up the portable aerial rig in that room. You can bring your own apparatus or rent from us.
• Combo (BEST VALUE): You can do all of the above!

Other:

FAQ:

Q (Photographer): 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.
