The Orlando Meet and Greet is still going strong, just mostly organized in Facebook now.

Our next event has been announced! We’ll be back at KDS One Studios ( 3601 Vineland Rd ste 10, Orlando, FL 32811) on February 9, 2020, and the theme is denim. General admission is from 2pm-5pm, and the SEPARATELY TICKETED VIP Early Bird shoot runs from 12-2. Get all the details for this event on the OMG website: www.OrlandoMeetAndGreet.com

ABOUT THE OMG
The OMG is (we think) the longest consecutively/consistently running model photography trade event in central Florida. Our average attendance is over 100 models and photographers.

A model photography trade event is when models and aspiring models get together with local photographers (and aspiring photographers) to take pictures without either party giving money to the other. The models are “paid” for their time spent modeling with digital images, and photographers are “paid” for their time spent taking the pictures and editing them by having the chance to work with models they may not normally have the chance to work with. It should be noted that each model and photographer are responsible for exchanging information and the group does not monitor or “police” whether or not photographer provide images to models. We merely provide a setting for models and photographers to work with each other.

We do have a small fee for photographers for general admissions, which is $5.00. We do not charge models or stylists for their attendance. The reason for that is actually quite straight-forward – 1) though we aren’t making a profit off of admissions, we do have to cover the venue rental fees; 2) time and experimentation has taught us that if models are asked to pay even a small cover fee, they aren’t terribly likely to attend; and 3) the $5.00 cover for photographers doesn’t seem to dissuade large numbers of photographers from attending.
