Come one, come all to Avondale Park and join us for our October meet and greet! We are returning to this lovely park for the second time and cannot wait to see the beautiful pictures we know will come out of this event.
Our theme for this event is all things fall. Be it casual street fashion or edgy high fashion/couture, we can't wait to see what you come up with! As always, the theme is encouraged but not required.
The sign in table and changing tent will be set up near the main entrance to the park and we will provide a picture the day of so that you can find us with ease.
We will have sign in sheets and model releases at the sign-in table and everyone is REQUIRED to sign in as this is how we keep track of participants. This is a TFP event and all photos are to be uploaded to a Google Drive folder which is shared by all participants. Photos of the models are uploaded by the photographers one week after the conclusion of the event with the models receiving the drive two weeks after the conclusion of the event.
Minors under 19 years old are welcome if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. The Age of Majority (the age when a person can execute a contract in AL) is 19. Therefore, even an 18 year old must have a guardian present at all times.
The event uses a shoot-out format so it's not uncommon for one model to start posing with a single photographer and several other photographers join in to shoot from other angles. This format allows for photographers to share techniques, build skills, and try things that are out of their comfort zone. Same goes for models. They can observe other models for techniques, build their skills base, and learn to pose in groups or with a partner.
We have found this approach works better than forcing every participant into a rigid structure where everyone gets the same shots on a schedule.
We reserve the right to refuse entry to or remove individuals for disruptive, threatening, or inappropriate behavior
