About this Event

ROOTED IN MONOCHROME
Hosted by Capture Collective PNW in collaboration with Pro Photo Supply

Step into a creative space where structure meets nature. Where bold, intentional design contrasts against the softness and unpredictability of the natural world.

This portrait meet explores the tension between what is built and what grows freely. Crisp color panels and flowing fabric installations will be placed directly within fields and florals, creating striking visual contrast. Hard lines cut through organic textures, while movement and light soften each frame.

This is where editorial fashion meets the wild.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• 3 curated backdrops featuring bold color panels and flowing fabric
• A natural outdoor setting integrated into each setup
• A mix of structured composition and organic movement
• Guided rotations to ensure equal shooting time
• A collaborative, supportive environment for all creatives

FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS

This meet is ideal for creatives looking to:
• Build editorial, portfolio-forward work
• Experiment with color theory, contrast, and composition
• Explore how constructed sets transform natural environments
• Capture both fashion-driven and organic storytelling

Bring your camera, your eye, and your creativity. This is a space to push your work further.

FOR MODELS

• Come styled in monochrome or minimal looks that complement (or boldly clash with) the sets
• Hair, makeup, and wardrobe should align with your chosen aesthetic
• Movement, expression, and creative interpretation are highly encouraged
