Giddy Up Partner! Put on your chaps and come on down to this Western Themed Photo Shoot!!! Are you shooting the same models in group shoot circuit? We have recruited new agency approved models, which means your portfolio won't look like the next guy.  Also, we have famous photographer Steve Ragland who you have seen in publications such as Vogue, Essence, Fitness Magazine, Playboy, Eating Well, Yoga Monthly, The Knot, Jet, Ambassador, Hour Detroit and Life Style Japan just to name a few. Check out his professional website: http://steveragland.com/

Steve has an impressive list of commercial clients including Sony Music, Miller Brewing, Radio Shack, Kmart, Sears, Zima, Martini & Rossi, and Purely Pro Cosmetics. Check out this fabulous video presented at WPPI in Vegas: http://vimeo.com/38475072

Steve Regland will be joining us in this shoot, and he will be building western set like the ones you see below, which will make your photo looks like from a Playboy magazine.  Instead of having blend photos with the boring white or black backdrop, you will be shooting with barn look and feel that will make your photos really stand out from others regular photo shoot and you don't want to miss out on this!

These are the sample photos that Steve built a set in 7 minutes! Yes, hard to believe, you have to see it to believe it! It's not just in building sets, but Steve will be teaching the secrets to lighting the set with the best lighting configuration as well as share his 30+ years of experience in studio lighting to create the awesome quality photos for publications.

Message the models and you can hire the beautiful models you for 1 on 1 sessions private session. During the private sessions with any of the HOT models of your choice, you can shoot a specific concept in mind, or models may have a specialty which you may be interested in shooting i.e. sexy lingerie. We will have sets for your private shoot with lighting to rent if you need them or bring your own speed-lite or strobe.  We are amateur friendly which means if you need any assistance on studio/flash lighting, proper exposure, or even ideas to pose the models, we'll be there to assist you, if needed.  If you already experienced, shoot away and have fun with the models.

Schedule a model before they're fully booked!!!

The group shoot will start at 11am with a full line up of 10+ models (models will be there on time and ready), and we'll break for lunch at 1:30 pm which means you'll have plenty of time to shoot the models as they rotate through the awesome sets.  The private one-on-one will start at 2pm for half and hour with 10 minutes break which you can take a breather or use the time to setup the lighting for you next private shoot.

Private Session starting:

2:00pm-2:30 pm

2:40pm-3:10 pm

3:20pm-3:50pm

4:00pm-4:30pm

4:40pm-5:10pm

5:20pm-5:50pm

More models are in the process of being hired, so check back regularly for updates!

Glad you all had fun, to clear things up I never said I was drunk and sick. I notified mr sek saying I was sick and throwing up. I don't know where this drunk thing came a part of the conversation
