Alright guys, looks like we're set for the location. Would the ones who are coming to the shoot on Dec 3rd send over the payment by paypal or etransfer to confirm their spots. Cost would be $70 for each person. That will cover the room and model expense.

As well, I'm not too familiar with the Boudair shooting. Would someone who is like to lead the group next week? And what about lighting? Anybody with strobes or should we rent? Thanks.

my email for the paypal/etransfer: ccfg1028@gmail.com

Looking forward to an awesome shooting.

try to use the sunlight as much as you can. Try not to go overboard with the flashes, otherwise it will look a bit fake and you lose ambiance. and dont make it too obvious when you show up with equipment or a large group so they wont think youre doing a commercial shoot and get charged extra.

Thanks Chopper for the advise! Very good point about being discrete upon entrance. And welcome Ilanna.

So, here are the updates:

Time to check in will be at 3pm. Giving 30 mins for preparation, the time slots will be:

a) 3:30 - 6:00 (4 spots left)
b) 6:00 - 8:30 (4 spots left)

5 people in each group. So far, I have two confirmations leaving out 4 spots left in each time intervals.

Model name is Julia Frances. And here are some of her works:

Let me know if you have any questions please. And if payments are not received by Wednesday Dec 30th, I would have to open up the slots to the other people in the waiting list due to the time constraint. Thanks.

Charles

Hi Everybody

As the event is drawing near, I would like to perhaps fill in more details regarding the shoot.

Please try to arrive 10 mins to 15mins before your session starts. Thereby if 3pm, try to get there by 2:45pm.

And for the last session at 6pm, we might actually start at around 6:10pm or 6:15pm so the model has a bit of time to freshen up from the first session.

I will bring some refreshments and snacks. And anybody is bringing strobes or lighting? I think it'll be a good idea especially for the 6pm.

Regards,
Charles

Hey Charles,

I am in the 3:30 slot and I was going to try some flash. Other than that I think the natural light will work well.

See you Saturday!

PS...thanks for bringing treats :wink:

Hi Everyone,

The parking will be at the intersection of Abell st and Queen st where you can purchase ticket by the hour. It is right across from the Drake hotel.

And if that's filled up, the next closest one is right behind Gladstone hotel where you have to pay $15 to park there.

Please try to be discrete upon entering. Try to keep your gear to a minimum or out of sight. And I'll see you all Saturday.

If you are lost or have questions, my cell is 647 215 3059.

Regards,
Charles

Have fun guys. Heres a tip for shooting in hotels too. Put a towel at the base of the door so the flashes dont spill out into the hallway and staff can see the flashes of light.
