3-Year Anniversary! Modeling Photoshoot (Limited Space)

Virak Studio is a media production and photography studio located in Fairfax, VA.

For our 3-Year Anniversary we've hired professional models for photographers to come and shoot. We provide the lights, triggers, space, backdrops and models. If you're newer to studio photography we've got a solution to that!

Note: This event is free for spectators including the workshop at 1:15.
There is a fee for photographers that wish to photograph the models. We prefer that you pay through our eventbrite link so we can keep track of the attendees as there is limited access for photographers.

What to Expect:

- Photographers will be given 5-7 minutes at a time (in rotation) with the respective model to shoot.

- We use Pocket Wizard triggers which require a hot shoe on your camera to operate. We cannot guarantee its compatibility but it should work for most cameras.

- If there is a photographer working with a model we ask that you wait for a turn. We will try our best to ensure everyone has a chance to shoot the respective models.

- You will not be alone. We will have professional and experienced photographers with you to help guide the shoot and help you with camera settings.

- There is a time keeper but we want to keep the event relatively fluid.

- We ask that all photographers respect the equipment, the staff, the guests and the building.

- The models pictured are the same ones that will be in attendance!

RULES:
- Respect is our main rule.
- Models are not to be touched, physically handled, etc. This includes high-fives, and handshakes. Although that seems extreme we want to emphasize a safety-centric culture to make the models feel comfortable.
- For instance, if a model has hair or clothing that needs to be adjusted, we will communicate that to them verbally rather than attempting to fix it ourselves.
- Touching any model will result in an immediate dismissal from the event without refund.
- Note: In addition to security cameras, we will also be filming content for our YouTube channel. If you do not wish to be filmed you may want to consider attending a different event.
