Hi guys! My name is Alex and I am new to model mayhem. I would like to host a meetup once a week at my restaurant. It is a gigantic space that is located in Westminster and we close every Thursday. I can bring and setup a backdrop and several lights if you want to shoot or mess around. My main goal is to meet other artists and make new friends in the industry. I would like to meet makeup artist, hair stylist, wardrobe stylist, photographers, models and cinematographers. All people are welcomed! I would like to host monthly contests and just little fun photo shoots for everyone to enjoy and hangout. Please let me know if this is something you're interested in. I would like to get some opinions so i can set a time and what things i need to bring to make this event great. I have never hosted a event/meetup before so I don't have any experience organizing these. But would greatly appreciate input! Sep 15 15 02:24 pm Link This sounds like an interesting idea. I be interested to be part of this. Sep 15 15 07:22 pm Link It could be fun, let me know more. Wayne Sep 15 15 08:20 pm Link 9822 Bolsa Ave # H, Westminster, CA 92683 Location and the restaurant my parents own is called Tay Ho 4. The place is gigantic and can fit 100 people plus. I have the whole restaurant for myself every Thursday as long as I lock up and keep things clean. Ceilings are are extremely high since this restaurant was built in a old Vietnamese super market. I am looking to make new friends and just have fun shooting and discussing about photography and anything art related. I would like to try to do the meetup this Thursday at 7:00 pm tonight and from there we can spread the word and setup a better time that would work out for everyone and new people looking to hangout and join. Sep 15 15 10:31 pm Link I'll put it on my calandar Sep 16 15 10:29 am Link Sep 16 15 12:03 pm Link Can't make this one, but I wish you luck. Sep 17 15 08:41 am Link Postponed to next week since no one really seem interested lol. Sep 17 15 06:39 pm Link alexluu_ wrote: I'm here where is every body? Sep 17 15 07:33 pm Link I am interested. Sep 18 15 11:57 am Link alex, This is great! As photographers I think we are always looking for cool locations to shoot in. Keep me posted as to when you are going to start, I'll be in SF all next week but if your are going to start soon, I can help get models for us to shoot TF. Best, George Vivanco Sep 19 15 12:30 pm Link Sounds like a great idea I would like to photo shoot there Sep 19 15 12:58 pm Link I'm interested. Sep 22 15 04:30 pm Link you should advertise in a few meet up groups too bad I'm in san bernardino nd it is a bit far for me Sep 23 15 02:01 pm Link I'm doing a class on Thursday nights, otherwise I'd be in on it. I'm also interested in photography as art. Hopefully you'll still have it going towards the end of the year when school is done. Sep 23 15 07:06 pm Link I'm interested. Let me know if this is happening next thursday thanks. Sep 26 15 08:59 pm Link is this still going on? Oct 27 15 09:08 pm Link alexluu_ wrote: Get some models will be great to start. Oct 27 15 10:30 pm Link Yes, try using the models from www.meetup.com (Karl Yamashita and www.GroupShootEvents.com/event.php). Most of them also have profiles on model mayhem. Perhaps you can do this as a once a month gig at your restaurant / area with partitions and settings like a modeling shoot event of some sort and charge photographers, similar to these two meetup groups. David Oct 28 15 01:04 pm Link I'm jealous, there are many photography clubs in the LA area and I'm glad to hear more photographers are putting on shoots. I wonder if Gardena Camera Club is still around. They would charge the photographers a minimum fee of $5 and use the money to hire models. I thought that was a fair way to help insure models coming. Oct 29 15 04:23 am Link Are you still doing this, please let me know, I'd like to come out and bring a model or two to shoot. It would be fun. Again, let me know if you are still offering the space for a meet/greet fun shoot. Please PM me. Oct 29 15 09:12 am Link Hi, I'm Kenny and live in Costa Mesa so not to far from Westminster. Sounds good. Did you start the Meetup yet? If so please respond with meetup link. Thanks Kenny Nov 02 15 04:22 pm Link interested Nov 24 15 10:07 pm Link |
