Our Events

These are photo shoot gatherings.  The goal is to help models and photographers improve themselves by practice and self-promotion.  No Models Fee.  Photographers pay a fee/donation to help cover expenses.  Types of events are "Fashion & Swimwear" and "Fashion Only".  (No Nudity.)  Events are for female models ages 15yrs &up; unless otherwise noted.  Models under 18yrs must bring parent.

Outfits

Fashion includes casual or dressy.  (This is a Photo Shoot, and Not a fashion show.)  Swimwear includes 1 piece or 2 piece.  Models should bring 3-5 outfits. It's recommended that you bring bright colored tops (red, blu, green, yellow,...etc) for Outdoor Photography.  Typically black or white tops are harder to photograph.  Bottoms can be any color.  In general, solid colors are best for tops and bottoms.

Models Prizes

When available, Guest Models have priority for cash prizes.  (Unless event is Stated as Walk-In & Contest Based.)  The number and amount allocated is based upon the number of paid registered photographers.  Must be present to win.  Some events may be for Pictures Only, also abreviated as TFP or TFCD.

MORE INFO:  Models, Photographers, Managers, Usage of Photos

Models

Register with the event upon arrival.  No fee.  The event uses photos only for Promotion.  Bring outfits and makeup. If photographed by a group of photographers, the order is from your Left to Right.  Let them know when you need breaks.  Free beverages for models.  You are Not required to give contact information to photographers, but it's helpful if you want photos. Photographers usually email photos or bring them to future events.
(ALWAYS THANK Photographers for PHOTOS whether per email or in person.)

Photographers

Events are "Still" Photography.  Give models at least 5' of space, a zoom lens is recommended.  When shooting in a group, the order goes from your Right to Left.  It's helpful to have business cards.  Let models take breaks.  Photos for models are mostly by email, in today's standards.

(New attending photographers should submit a business card at registration.  Most notices are only by email list.)

Managers

Must be pre-approved 1 Week prior to event. This includes Individuals or Groups that recruit models for personal ventures.  As a Participative Event, the concept is that you also help recruit new models into events.

Usage of Photos, Partial Release

(Currently NO Automatic Model Release.)  We're maintaining the Non-Resale of Photos and Non-Use on pay to view sites.  Some locations may require a Credit Caption.  Rules are posted at events.
