      This is the 4.25th Anniversary of the start of the first Orlando Meet & Greet to be organized through Model Mayhem, so we thought we'd do something a little special We have a new awesome location. The Dellagio Plaza is visually stunning and provides excellent backdrops for shooting. It's a more open location that last month's at Ember downtown. We have some brightly colored walls all around the place and even a large Italian fountain with statues and everything... be fun to do a 'Roman Holiday' shoot there. The main location for the OMG is Urban Flats that is where you will check in and we will use as the central hub for meeting and hanging out. We are working with the various establishments in the plaza to create the best locations that will be used exclusively for the VIP portion of the event and shooting with the guest models. During the main event we will be using all of the plaza for shooting but shoot only with people who have checked in and have badges. If someone doesn't have one then we don't know who they are and its best to send them to Urban Flats to have them check in. There will be an after party at DragonFly when they finally open for food at 5PM where we will be heading over to eat some sushi and tell great stories about the shots we did that day. We are bringing in 4-5 lovely professional models who's entire job is to take turns being shot by you. The models are there to specifically shoot during the VIP portion of the event and can choose to shoot or not during the regular event. There are also dozens of local models who come ready to shoot. So don't fret about finding someone to shoot. The special VIP early bird access is from 11-1PM for a small additional fee to have shooting privileges with the event models. We have a good ratio of photographers to models and some great locations. This has gone over well in the past and is a great value for money.   who are there just to be shot by you but you may have to wait your turn, so arrive early. We have two named special guest model for the event so far... Mandy Murphy one of a kind and a pleasure to work with  Kaitlin Pechin She doesn't have an MM profile yet but is working on it. Just your classic all american 5'10" girl next door  Leah Nerren  Luciane  Lori Yin    We shall be posting the rules here as well as suggestions for photographers and models. Basically don't do anything that will make us kick you out.   First off, looking at the location, an outfit that goes well with yellow might be a good idea if you want to shoot. If you want to shoot then dress your best or most creative. Make it fun, interesting and portfolio worthy. Make it retro, glam, clubwear, even cosplay. We won't be shooting nudes or lingerie at this event. Bring some business cards with your photo and info on them to hand out to photographers so they can both remember who you are and contact you for later gigs. Photographers are visual creatures, they will remember your face longer than your name.   Don't forget to bring your camera, your portfolio and your business cards. You can bring your lights, just know that we aren't responsible for your equipment. So don't leave them unattended. Always ask permission before shooting a model at the event and don't shoot over the shoulder of another photographer without asking their permission as well. Only the event models are specifically there to be shot by everyone. So if another model declines an invitation to shoot with you, don't take it personal.
