Here are some FAQ's and answers that might be helpful for you.
What will the photographer to model ratio be?
At most photo shoot events we will provide to you a weekly running model/photographer ratio based on prepays. Basically we start with a 2:1 ratio.
How does the scheduling work?
Many photoshoots have a 1 model - 20 photographer ratio, we don't agree with that policy as we dont believe it allows the best photos to be taken so, our teams will be smaller and allow more time with the model if its needed. To ensure that as many models and photographers get to work together as possible, we will have 2 - one hour scheduled shooting groups where a bunch of photographers and models can go off and shoot someplace on the property.
Will refreshments be served?
All Nationwide Glamour Shoot Events will include a full meals,snacks and beverages for NO additional charge.
Will the models be expecting prints or digital scans?
We suggest you provide to model digital scans; it should be in 8x10 format @180dpi for best use. Most models prefer to have at least 4 images of your best work, we require your participation in our event to include these images delivered to the model within a reasonable time frame.
What can I use the photos for?
Under limited release; for self-promotion uses only.
What are the requirements for obtaining a full release?
If you plan to use/sell the images on a pay site or in a book, you will need bring your own model release and negotiate with the model directly for full release. Models may ask as little as $25 to as much as $100 additional.
Can I contact the model before the shoot?
Yes, you can. Please contact us for contact information.
One of the models doesn't have a link to an online portfolio/website, how do I contact her?
Email us for her contact information, in most cases they are new to modeling and don't have anything to start with.
There seems to be more models than photographers, why is it that way?
We tend to overbook as many models for these shoots.
Do you have an issue with beginners or amateurs?
Nope, we encourage photographers of all levels to attend the event. We all had to begin at some point. There are many photographers you will find to be great buddies with that share the same interests as you. Many will be interested in providing instruction to help you get underway.
Do you offer workshops or instruction?
Some events will offer amazing informative workshops with instruction on how to do something, check our site regularly for announcements.
Are there some "advanced-level" or explicit photo shoots?
We are always planning exciting, unique events, although we cannot guarantee or pinpoint an X-rated or explicit photo event at this time, we suggest you check from time to time to see if there's anything cooking that might pique your interest, because we sure there will be.
Who are the models attending? Models are sought out for each event, we usually pre announce who will be at the upcoming event. Always watch the website as we are updating it all the time. Model Compensation Models compensation by way of "tipping" is encouraged. Though it is not mandatory, it would be nice for each photographer to tip a models after they shoot. Models in general, do not get paid to attend these events Will the some models be staying after the shoot for possible additional paying jobs? Some models will hang around to land a short paid shoot or two after the shoot. If you have an interest in a model, ask her to hang around after the shoot for some private work. If you make arrangements to work with a model prior to the shoot, please arrange the shoot time after the main event. It is disruptive to shoot a model during the main event as you make everyone else wait until you're finished. Are the models guaranteed to be there? Yes, we have changed our policy for any model interested must meet with us in the weeks prior to a event to determine reliability. We also require that releases be returned PRIOR to the event by attending models. If they do not return a release we figure they arent serious and cut them from the shoot then fill their slot immediately. Will I need to bring my own lighting equipment? Yes and No. Most of the shooting is planned for either indoors or outdoors, so you might want to bring your favorite softbox or whatever. If you plan on using fill flash by all means bring something portable. And reflectors and stands are always helpful outside. If I can't make this shoot, can I get a refund? If you are unable to attend an event that you have registered for we will give you credit for the amount you have paid towards the next shoot of your choice. As long as you notify us within 24 hrs of the event. No show, No credit. you are allowed 2 events to try and attend using your unused credit within a 4 moth period, after that your credit is no longer valid. If the shoot is cancelled due to poor weather or for other reasons beyond our control you will receive free admission to our next event of equal value.
