INTERESTED PHOTOGRAPHERS:
This is intended as a TF event. Unlike most cruise ship photoshoots, this event provides ZERO profit to the promotor.
Each photographer attending this cruiseshoot MUST also purchase a cruise ship ticket for the model of his/her choice. Photographers attending the cruiseshoot MUST also allow other photographers to shoot the model that they bring. Every photographer will have shooting access to all models attending. You are required to provide copies of all edited images from the group shoots to the models, unless other arrangements are made. Full resolution non-watermarked images from the group shoots, suitable for printing, shall be provided upon request by the model. By attending this event, you grant permission for the models to use all provided images from the group shoots for self promotion. I will add your name to the confirmed list when I have a cabin/booking number. Photographers will be sharing cabins with other photographers, models with models, unless you make other arrangements.
Clear with me PRIOR to purchasing tickets to be included in this group.

GENERAL INFO ABOUT THE SHIP:
One night is formal dining. A dress for the ladies. A tux for the men,(JK) but a jacket or tie or both would help.
Way to windy on deck for softboxes etc.so when shooting KISS (keep it simple) Only 1 electrical outlet in the cabins plan ahead. If you can carry your own bags on and off the ship you will not have to wait in groups to off load. You are allowed to bring 1 bottle of wine or champagnie on board. You do go through customs, any drugs and NO CRUISE! Try not to pack for 3 months the cruise is only 7days. Parking at the terminal in Long Beach is $15./day. Think carpool! The entire group usually dine together however that is an option. EVERYTHING outside of the 5 organized shoots is yours do do as you please.
