Fashion, Portrait, & Glamour workshop 4/29

[srwatters]

This thread will host the information for the upcoming PoloDigital/Greg Daniels Fashion, Portrait and Glamour workshop set for 4/29. There will be a maximum of 12 students.

We will have three models available to shoot. There will be one shooter per set at any one time. Violating this rule will end your day at that point. The last thing I want to do is ask someone to leave, but in order to be fair to all the attendees, that will be the result. As I have said before, if you attend a top name event like a Rolando Gomez, SuperShoots, or Jeff Black Tampa Shootout workshop and violate this rule, you will be out a whole lot more than $240 and most likely won't be allowed to return. Enough about that.

You will be free to shoot each model in every scene and wardrobe set. We will not rotate the models until everyone has had the opportunity to shoot them at least once (if you want, not a requirement). If you want to follow the same model around all day, that is your call. As long as everyone shoots no more than 15-20 shots per turn, it will work out just fine. Just remember, "don't Bogart that model". There will be multiple sets with at least one 'special' piece of equipment that will give you some unique and creative images. A past event included a Profoto ring flash. I'm thinking something different and unique this time. We may choose a new makeup artist that specializes in airbrush application to speed the process along so that your shoot time will be maximized.

Cost for this full day session is $240 including a full release from the models for all images made at the workshop. I will provide a link to the release in a few days as I update the files for this event. Payment will be required two weeks prior to the event to secure your place. I will accept PayPal or checks. More details on payment will be issued via email. Please include your email address via PM to me so I can maintain a contact list.

I will update my workshop web site http://www.polodigital.net/workshops.htm with the names, portfolio links, and images of the lucky models. Currently I have a commitment from Kelli Cook who you can see on my portfolio fashion page at http://www.polodigital.net. She is the default image on the fashion gallery. Kelli is a very experienced model who is a blast to work with. I'm sure that Greg and I will choose two more top notch women to fill out the schedule.

In order to save you the PayPal fees, is it ok to send you the check by mail?

Is it the same address in Plano?

Thanks Jeff

Hold off on sending me a check for a week or two. I want to make sure we stay at the 12 photogs/3 models version. I'm fairly sure we will, but I just want to make sure so I don't have to do a bunch of refunds if we back down to 15 shooters and $190.

I'd like to sign up for this workshop and the 4/22 workshop, can I do that and just one big check??

Sure, but please wait until I send a request for payment. I'll add you to the lists.

[srwatters]

I am going to open this up to Garage Glamour to fill the last three slots. Please let me know if you have any friends you want to invite first, since I'm sure the slots will fill quickly.

[rozzie]

Please add me to the list, Scott!! :) Thanks!

[Jeff Medlin]

Scott, please PM me or email me, when it is time to send you the funds...


Thanks,


Jeff

After going over the many models who applied for the three slots, Greg and I have chosen the following three models:

Kelli Cook, Crystal Nichole, and Nicole Smith.

You can see their photos and links on the workshop page of my web site.

I will send payment instructions on Monday.

[srwatters]

Watch your PM box...

Call for payment going out in minutes...

[srwatters]

I forgot to mention...

Payment needs to be to me by Friday 4/14 unless other arrangements are made. PM me if you need to delay your payment or cancel.

[srwatters]

I've had a couple of cancellations for this event and now have two open slots.

Please tell your friends and neighbors so we can fill-er-up.

Thanks!

[srwatters]

Folks, our numbers have dwindled once again. We are down to 9. I really can't afford to run this event at a loss, so please help me find one to three more shooters for the event otherwise I will have to at least postpone the event if not cancel and refund those who have already paid me.

From now on I will be requiring a non-refundable deposit to get on the list. I know things come up, but I feel bad if I can't make budget and have to postpone/cancel.

Thanks!

[Wil_Bloodworth]

Do they have these often? I ask because I'm already booked for that day and can't attend... which totally sucks!

Wil,

We are trying to run these every other month. Next ones will be in June.

Thanks!
