What we’re about
We are just a group of friends – photographers, models, and Hair & MakeUp folks, who enjoy organizing fun “Trade Shoot” events to provide portfolio photos for the participating photographers and models; and to provide a safe space for people who want to try modeling, as well as a place for photographers to practice their skills.
In order to help ensure the safety of our friends, eliminate catfishes/bots/harassment, and so that we know who our friends are when they show up to events; we ask that you have an accurate picture of your face in your profile picture. We will not be approving any friend requests without one.
Like I said, we're just a group of friends; so the obvious rules applies.
- BE RESPECTFUL. Please respect all of our other friends at all times. You will get our respect from the start.
- ALWAYS ASK FIRST! Always ask a model for permission before taking any photos. It is understood at “Trade Shoot” events, that the photographers WILL provide photos to those models who were photographed. Photographers who fail to do so will be removed from this group.
- BE ORGANIZED and physically ready for the event. Have you camera/flash batteries charged, SD cards formatted and ready to go. Many events are “on site”, which may include a short hike to the event area. Know where the rest facilities are, and always have access to drinkable water.
- NO INTOXICATION AT ANY EVENT. Make sure you can always carry yourself in a respectful manner. This is everyone's time to have fun in a safe, family-friendly environment.
-We do not accept any legal liability for any attendees. All events listed here are done at the participants own risk. We are not an insured business, or non-profit, just a group of friends who want to make more friends and share the good vibes with everyone. - While it is perfectly natural for humans to want to explore the possibility of a relationship with someone else; Just understand that when someone says "No," please don't do anything that would make them need to say "No" a second time. There are dating groups on Meetup, this is not one of them. Move on before this happens. On the flip side, if anyone has had to tell someone "No" a second time, please come tell me and we will discuss the safe and proper steps going forward. Everyone has the right to feel safe while on a shoot with their friends. If it is something that you do not want to talk to me about, there are other people that will be glad to hear you.
