I'd love to help out :)

If we get others to commit to leading smaller groups to work in we might increase the available spots depending on interest or even set up something like this again on another day in February...

I am new to the group and I may even volunteer to help lead :) Since it is an ambient light /reflector portrait, who are the models? Is it just someone from the group of 4?

Ed, we will most likely just use group members as models to work on the ambient / reflector techniques. We did that when we had our summer flash workshop and it worked out well.

Hi Ed... I agree with Joe that we will shoot pics of each other for practice. Of course, if someone knows of models who would like to work modeling for photos as trade that would be great, too. It would be lovely if you want to lead a group..the more leaders we have to make the groups smaller would be helpful. It might be a good idea for the leaders to have a SKPE Chat or even meet a 1/2 hour ahead to sort of set up their plan for what they want to cover! Thank you for offering to help out!

You can sign me up as a leader for the group. I would be glad to help out. Arriving a half hour before everyone one else is a great idea too. I am pretty sure I can line up a TFCD model for my group too. No one really wants pictures of me *LOL*... It's really a nice location and we should get some VERY nice light on the steps looking toward the city. The back of the museum near the river has some great photo ops as well. Looking forward to meeting everyone

I would like to see all the team leaders meet up 30-60 minutes prior, find places to work, and exchange notes.

I am excited about this meetup, and being a team leader. I feel this is one area of photography where anyone can get a great image without having to spend a lot on equipment.

Does anyone have connections to some models who might want to pose for this event in trade for CD's???... It would be a great opportunity for updating their portfolios.. Please let us know!!! We have 5 leaders at this time and models would be very helpful!

I know a model who may be interested. Let me contact her and I'll get back to you as soon as I know.... In the meantime - sign me up on up on the waiting list - if I provide you with a model, I'll want to shoot her!!!!

Thank you Pam!

I will check with my Grandaughter, she is on facebook. Jessica Cullen, check her out..Not sure if she would be interested, but I will ask.

BTW, is this an indoor event or outdoor event'??

My grandaughter, Jessica Cullen said she will try to make it. She need to know a few things. You can contact her on facebook. and message her. Thanks Hillary.

Hi Hillary, how do I get on the waiting list? Thanks!

Nana..just sign up with a "Yes" RSVP and you should automatically go on the waiting list.. If there is a problem with that let me know. Thanks for asking..

I have 3 models (not actual models, but some of my friends who have volunteered to help us out that day). One is a guy who is an aspiring actor who wouldn't mind a few headshots hehe, the others are 2 of my girl friends.

As long as nothing comes up, they should all be good, but I will be able to verify by the week of the class.

Perhaps what can happen is if all the groups aren't too far away from each other, we can do a switch or two throughout so you don't have the same 'model'.

I might have one more guy, for a total of 4. If a group has two models, it probably won't hurt anyway, as there's gonna be 8 people. And since most people aren't models, and we want to hone our portrait skills, we've got to know how to capture every day people in their best light hehe! Yay!

Anyway, will keep you updated.

I have 3 more models for you.. A young man and musician, and a beautiful redhead teenager, and a beautiful woman. friend.d Not professional but all willing to mode.

What are the models supposed to wear, and where are we to meetup.?

Val, I would just say that the models should dress warmly. Lots of layers will help... everyone will meet at the base of the Art Museum steps.

I'm new to group...if there's any room I'd love to attend....

I have one model for the group I am leading :) Looking forward to the event.

Looks like there will be anywhere from 4-8 models for the shoot.. Will be nice to mix and match.. with the groups. Please be sure to change your RSVP if you are not coming so someone on the waiting list will be able to attend!

I will lead a small group if you need

Hillary, my grandaughter will be there for sure with another girl if you need more models. Also my sons girlfriend and her daughter and perhaps her handsome son..

Hillary, We intend to also go into the Museum for the VanGogh Exhibit, Do we have any kind of discount though Smug Mug?Or is anyone going that has a membership that we could get some tickets. Please let me know thanks, Val

I have 2 brand new 43 inch 5-in-1 reflectors if anyone is interested. $25/ea. I will bring them to the Meetup this weekend.

I would be interested Nick! Thank you!
