"Experiment Failed" Portrait Meet

EXPERIMENT FAILED PORTRAIT MEET
Hosted by Capture Collective PNW

Friday, October 9, 2026
6:00–8:00 PM
Beast Daylight Studio

Imagine having the power to change one thing about yourself.

Maybe you wanted to become impossibly beautiful, but now your perfect face is melting off.

Maybe you wanted to breathe underwater, but the experiment transformed you into a half-human, half-fish hybrid.

Maybe you wanted the ability to fly, but instead, you turned into a fly.

For this Halloween workshop, the experiment [and exactly how badly it failed] is completely up to you.

Mad scientist. Escaped test subject. Failed beauty treatment. Human-animal hybrid. Radioactive mutation. Superpower gone wrong. Technological malfunction. Botanical infection. Immortality with some deeply unfortunate side effects.

Get creative. Get unsettling. Get absolutely unhinged.

We strongly encourage models to go ALL OUT with their looks and collaborate with professional HMUA and SFX artists whenever possible. If you need recommendations, we would be happy to provide a list of talented artists who can help.

The sets will remain relatively simple so the focus stays on each character and their transformation. Creative, dark and moody lighting techniques will be used throughout the workshop, with experimental props available to help build each scene.

Come get weird with us. 🧬
