Portfolio Building Photoshoot & Costume Contest

This monthly themed Portfolio Building Photoshoot is quickly becoming an important tool of creation for any artist involved in the performing arts. With over 3,000 pieces of wardrobe and over 500 props Collective Effect is built to help service our artistic community in every way it can.

We're keeping a standing open call to all models, photographers and stylists to come indulge in creation with a passionate group just following their inspirations.

In this session we will celebrating the art of Costuming and Cosplay in honor of this playful Halloween season. With an acting coach and a runway coach on hand, we'll offer our attendees a brief introduction to the crafts.

Bring your own costume or draw from the Collective Effect wardrobe to create a character you will embody for the evening. From 6-8pm you may work with one of our photographers (and acting coach) to capture your creation/inspiration.

At 8pm all eyes will turn to the stage as we invite our talented community to strut their stuff across the catwalk IN CHARACTER. Grow your character organically or pull from an old favorite. Write up a quick intro/bio and enter into a viewers choice contest gauging your attention to detail, believability, and total immersion. Awards will be given for the best costume and for the best portrayal of the character you choose to embody.

Afterwards, you may mingle in the mix of a hodgepodge of talented people from our artistic community. Network, pitch and/or inspire future collaborations... and then come join us again for this incredible mothly themed event.

NOTE: No metal weapons will be allowed on property.
