I have some designer wedding dresses and I am hoping for 2models x 2 dresses. We'll see how it goes. This is a casual shoot+questions/answers seminar.

Hi,

I want to attend your seminar. I want to ask if it is $97 for each person or $97 for 8 people?

Thanks,
John

$97 is per person.

Need to ask this question, but how is the $97 that folks paying being used. Is it to pay the model, the fee for the room at the hotel, etc.??

If this is a commercially related event, then folks need to know and if so, events such as these are not permitted here, hence the details I'm seeking.

Who is handling the model release forms? Can the photos be used for commercial use or self-promotion?

This is not a commercial event. Fee pays for all the expenses. If you need more info, I'd be happy to provide it via email/pm or phone. If you guys want,you can just inquire with King Edward hotel on their fees to have an idea... $97 doesn't even cover 30 minutes in that venue.

Models will sign a release form I provide. It covers you all as well. You can use the images for self promotion,but you can not sell them(eg. stock photography).

What happens if you can't get 8 people?

That'll be sad considering a lot signed up showing interest.

I took this workshop last year and I found Dmitri very knowledgeable and creative. Definitely worth the money. Thanks Dmitri for volunteering your time and experience putting this on again this year

I got 7 people in 24 hours. I think I can get 1 more in the next 12 days?

PS. Thanks SD.

Unless something changes, we'll have these models joining us:

I also attended one of Dmitri's wedding events last year and found it a lot of fun and a good experience!

Thanks for the reply to the email Dmitri. I'll send you the payment once I get home tonight.

Should we bring light stands or leave them at home?

I'd rather you leave all the big setups at home. In the past, some would bring extra lights,but would never use it(other than for fun).

I'm leaving my Alien Bees at home, just bringing the speedlites. Can we use human light stands?

If someone else in the group wants to volunteer themselves, I can't see why not.

If anyone needs to cancel, i would be interested in taking over your spot!

Pazit, Fotogurl yet to pay... To be fair, I'll give her until 12 noon tomorrow.

See you guys on Sunday. I updated the 1st post with my phone number in case you need to reach me.

We will start with some Q&A then continue with some shooting then will Q&A again. Wedding gown designer Adele Wechsler is providing 6 dresses for the models

See you on Sunday!

Great, I'm excited for this on Sunday.

2 models, 6 dresses, and a bunch of photographers. Sounds like fun!

Can you provide us with a breakdown of the pricing and the expenses? I want to know for the future if I decide to go to one of these.

It was great...thanks for putting up this together....

I just got back now. I really enjoyed it although it may not have shown as much as I was just trying to take it all in, lol. This was my first time shooting people as I've only had my camera for just under a month.

I learned so much and my shots probably won't come out the greatest, but I'll to wait til tomorrow to take a look at them as I'm going out tonight. I'll post a few as soon as I edit a few of them (tomorrow hopefully).

Thanks Dmitri!


David (the only Nikon user...)

It was a lot of fun! Thanks for putting it together Dmitri and taking the time and effort to chat and give us your insight.

Here's a few that I have edited.

Nice pics ldam.

Thanks to Dmitri for the the informative workshop and the spectacular location. 30 years in Toronto and despite working at King/Bay, it was my first time going in to the King Edward Hotel. Love to see other participant's photos. Here are a few I processed while watching the Raptors/Lakers game, great game by the way.

Idam and VKhamphi.....good work ....
