About this Event
For this picture day, The Newport Studio invites Drag Artists to get portraits taken by our resident photographer (@GenitoPhoto) for show promos, social media, audition submissions, and more!
Our set up for this event will be simplistically dramatic, with a single spotlight for that theatrically shadowy look. Choose between 3 or 4 different neutral textured fabric backdrops for waist-up & close-up headshots (full body shots possible in sitting positions).
Outfit style/colors/theme is entirely up to you/your brand!
Tickets are 15-minute timed slots, limited to one look/outfit per time slot. Limit two time slots per artist.
Proofs (unedited drafts not for downloading) sent within 48 hours to choose your favorite THREE (3) images to be edited & delivered, which is included with your Eventbrite ticket; additional images are available to purchase at $10 per photo. No RAW images will be delivered for downloading/sharing.
Estimated deliviery of final/edited images is 6-8 weeks.
Please be sure that the email you register with is active, as this is how you will receive your proofs/photos.
Please arrive 15 minutes early to your reserved slot to check in, or sooner for any last minute touch-ups/dressing. Access to the theater's dressing room (with mirrors) is provided, as well as single stall bathrooms for a more private changing space.
You will be asked to fill out a release waiver, which will ask for consent to your photos being shared on the photographer's business sites, and for your instagram handle if you do (this portion is optional). The waiver will include the agreement to not sell these images or heavily alter them without prior written consent from the photographer (this portion is not optional).
PLEASE BE ADVISED: We do not allow any loose glitter, fire spinning, or other messy substances to be used in the studio for this event.
Any questions? Please email our studio manager & photographer directly at [email protected].
