A fellow photographer got a dozen photogs and a dozen models together for a group photo shoot at Magic Island. We were divided into 3 groups and the idea was to have 3-4 models shoot with 3-4 photogs. Every 30-40 minutes the models would rotate and shoot with another group of photogs. The challenge was for the photogs to set up the shot with the model, take a few shots and then take turns with the others in your group. All the photogs were very good about taking turns and helping with technical questions. Some of them had assistants to hold lights and reflectors. Most like myself used on camera flash with no assistants. The models had to keep their energy levels up while working in the warm sun, going thru a variety of poses, some on land and others in the water. With 3-5 cameras pointed at you, which way do you look? The more experienced models made eye contact with each photog. The idea was for the photogs to get a brief idea of what each model had to offer and the models would get a sample of the photogs shots. If all goes well, they would schedule a future one on one shoot. All in all it work very well. Met a lot of talented photogs who were very generous in sharing technique and information and several models willing to set up future shoots.
