Otherwise, if you put your wet itemsl in with your clothes, your clothes will become damp and after sitting a while a little musty. Jan 25 14 02:58 am Link Jan 26 14 01:14 am Link Yay!!!!

Jan 26 14 05:40 pm Link Sorry, Gary, didn't read all of your posting. Yep, the place with the bulldogs and tortoises. Jan 26 14 05:42 pm Link Wayne Cutler wrote: Hey Wayne... nope... NOT the place with bulldogs and tortoises. That place is in Rancho Cucamonga. This place is in Upland... Jan 26 14 07:08 pm Link So, this is going to be a nude group shoot? It says "fabric free." Jan 26 14 08:00 pm Link Bare Essential Photos wrote: duh.... Jan 26 14 08:43 pm Link Add me to the "list", and send me the info. Please. Jan 26 14 11:40 pm Link I have a question regarding Model Releases. The fee to attend the Group Shoot is $80. Now with approx 10 models if a photographer is only going to shoot pics for portfolio use only and not to sell images do we get Model Releases for Portfolio Use Only or are we required to pay Model Releases to every model we might want to use or keep her images? At $20 a Model Release that means an extra $200. I would rather ask now than have a model send me a email request to remove her pic/pics from my portfolio because I did not pay her for a Model Release. Jan 27 14 07:11 am Link We've never really addressed the subject of releases but it sounds like something we should do. I'm wondering how many people will abuse the "portfolio only" release if we were to provide them. Worth talking about. Jan 27 14 08:31 am Link Michael Bean wrote: Let me get the conversation started. Jan 27 14 09:01 am Link I guess you might as well sign me up. Jan 27 14 01:29 pm Link JLS Photography wrote: Damn Jim, You're making it look like I'm twisting your arm !! Jan 27 14 02:03 pm Link You are twisting my arm with the selected models. Jan 27 14 02:27 pm Link Too bad we'll have to wait til March - but, I'll plan on it... Jan 27 14 07:22 pm Link ATTENTION - Today is January 28th - We are officially at the half way point in photographer registration. This is the first time we get to use this home so we have to be careful not to overbook the location. We have plenty of models (12) but we will have to cut it off sometime soon. Get your reservation in now or miss out on the best shoot of the year !! Jan 28 14 07:51 am Link Klover!!!! Jan 28 14 11:43 am Link Sign me up, Mikey. Have to watch Scieszinski. Jan 28 14 12:19 pm Link Wayne - you're in - I'm not positive but I think the pictures you have of Klover were shot at this location. Jan 28 14 02:34 pm Link Michael Bean wrote: You guys are the man, I never get to work with Klover on a personal shoot. I email her but ddn't get anything back from her. Jan 28 14 05:17 pm Link Looks good with the model selection so far! Thanks for posting this WAY in advance, I might be able to make the trip down to So Cal to do this shoot!

Jan 29 14 12:26 am Link Accepting pre bookings already!!! =] get in while you can !!! Jan 29 14 12:43 am Link Jan 29 14 04:57 am Link The line up and location are awesome guys. Having it in March is actually a bonus, gives you time to prepare. Had my screen cleaned and what a difference. Also, should have a new lens that I am excited about. Already bought one new lens and I am excited about trying them out at the shoot. Of course I will do some shoots to test them first. I am glad that with llimited slots for photographers that I signed up. I will have these two by then too: http://www.amazon.com/X-Rite-MSCCPP-Col … pd_sim_p_1 http://www.amazon.com/Datacolor-SLC100- … B9Y4EET9SP Saw them at Calumet in West Covina and liked what I saw. Jan 29 14 05:42 am Link Jan 29 14 04:57 pm Link Very nice location, with great looking models. It will be fun, fun.... Jan 30 14 09:45 am Link Michael Bean wrote: Maybe just allow pics to be posted to this thread without a release? My guess is the average model at the shoot doesn't sell all that many releases as it is. I'd be surprised if the average sells over 5 releases, meaning only like 1 out of 8 photographers buys a release from that model, or conversely the average photographer buys 1 or 2 releases. Given there apparently haven't been issues in the past, I don't see any big reason to change what seems to work pretty well. Cutting off one of the model income streams might well cut down on the number/quality of models willing to attend. Jan 30 14 08:30 pm Link Michael Bean wrote: Just keep it the way it is, it is working and any change might rock the boat. Letting people to post pics of the shoot at this forum, without a release, might help both the model and promoter. Jan 30 14 09:51 pm Link Jan 31 14 04:47 am Link Yay!!!!!! Looks amazing!
