About this Event
ARTISTS, UNITE! πΈβ¨
Itβs me, Cosimo β Owner & Lead Photographer for The Good Gate and DIGβS Photography.
WELCOME TO WINDOWLIGHT AT WILDEMERE, the 3rd Group Shoot hosted by The Good Gate in 2026. This stunning Detroit estate is the perfect backdrop to create incredible portfolio work while connecting, collaborating, and celebrating with fellow photographic artists.
If youβve been to a Good Gate event before, you already know the vibe: good energy, beautiful light, creative freedom, and a room full of artists ready to make magic.
π THE EXPERIENCE
This event will be split into two creative sessions:
βοΈ Day Group β 12PMβ4PM
π Night Group β 5PMβ9PM
Each session runs 4 hours and includes:
β’ Models
β’ Photographers
β’ Stylists
β’ Multiple shooting spaces throughout the estate
This event is 18+ only because some artists may be creating boudoir, implied, topless, or art nude work.
Important to know:
β’ No one is required to shoot any specific genre.
β’ You simply must be comfortable being in a creative environment where others may be shooting up to art nude.
β’ No pressure or coercion to shoot beyond anyoneβs boundaries will ever be tolerated.
Clear communication about creative limits and expectations before shooting is strongly encouraged.
π₯ GROUP SIZES
Each session will include approximately:
