Anywho, i recently joined a model group and they have monthly get-together's to take pics and practice there trade (including not just models but also MUA's (make-up artists) and photogs). it's a good group of people and a place to organise the monthly shoot via a poll on what style to do and finding a location to suit.
Last months shoot was with the theme "old Hollywood' and done in 'Wolf lane' in the city. although there were some difficulties with being in an ally (shadows/direct sun etc) this is the point of these shoots. work around these problems to get the required shots, unlike a studio shoot were you can get it just right, here you really have to think about how you position your model and use various forms of lighting equipment eg: reflectors and/or flashes/strobes. also you can use any spare bodies to hold said reflectors and work together. We had around 8 models, 3 mua's and 20 odd photogs for the day and after around 4hrs i think everyone was quite pleased with the resulting shots. even if there were some sore feet! i even did a video coverage as a sort of doco on how the event went, but as i dont have a reliable editing software and MS wont accept quicktime files, i have yet to finish it :(
so now for the pics :) (not my best photos skills as i just wanted these shots for the vid)
