"Maximalism" Portrait Meet

MAXIMALISM
Hosted by Capture Collective PNW in collaboration with Pro Photo Supply

More is more.
Too much is not enough.
If you think it’s overdone… you’re just getting started.

Welcome to MAXIMALISM, where restraint is cancelled and chaos is curated.

This is your permission to go fully unhinged:
feathers on feathers, glitter on glitter, rhinestones, sequins, chains, statement jewelry, clashing prints, tulle explosions, metallics, trinkets, textures that should not coexist (but somehow do)

Nothing needs to match. Everything needs to hit. This is loud. This is excessive. This is editorial chaos in its final form.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Sets designed to handle the chaos (and elevate it)
• Bold, anything-goes creative direction
• Structured rotations so everyone gets their moment to go feral
• A space where “too much” is actually the assignment
• Controlled chaos with just enough structure to make it art

FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS

This is your chance to:
• Create images that feel expensive, chaotic, and impossible to ignore
• Push past “clean” and into texture, layering, and visual overload
• Experiment, break rules, take risks; this is not the safe zone

If your camera roll scares you a little… you’re doing it right.

FOR MODELS

We are begging you: do the most.

• Feathers, glitter, sequins, rhinestones, chains, fringe, metallics
• Statement jewelry, stacked accessories, layered everything
• Bold makeup, exaggerated silhouettes, unexpected combos

If you think “this might be too much,” perfect. Wear it.

EVENT DETAILS

📍 Forgotten Works Studio
📅 Thursday, August 6
⏰ 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM

WHAT TO BRING

Camera & lenses
Any extra chaos you’d like to contribute (props, lights, etc.)

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Respect the space, the models, and the madness
• Do not touch models or styling without permission
• This is a safe, inclusive environment; chaotic energy only applies to the art, not behavior

WHY CAPTURE COLLECTIVE

We’re not just a meet, we’re an experience.
Capture Collective PNW creates spaces where you can go all in: bold ideas, big energy, no playing small, and walk away with work that actually makes people stop scrolling.

Spots are limited. Taste level is not. Secure your ticket.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
