I was wondering if any one was up for cost share on a Portfolio build shoot.

Mate Dav and my self were thinking of doing some shots at the Manor house where our offices are located.

Thinking of maybe 4 other togs sharing cost of 4 models. 3 brides and a dude Groom.

The house and grounds we can get for free. and a few local Dress hire firms are up for images of their latest stock.

So any one who wants to share ideas and do some off camera/Vid light work is more than welcome to come and join us.

Cost will be for model hire for the half day... ish.

Any thoughts join in............



Names list 8 togs only.

is polygamist allowed now these days?
 
I will be interested too. Again depends on the date...
 
I'm interested, although I see it's looking quite popular already.
 
None profit. All to share ideas before shoot and just all split costs between those taking part.

So a week end or week day? After Easter or in the Summer Hols?

what is a good time?

I can get the Manor house and grounds on weekend. Grounds include the boathouse on the River Thames.

So use with multi off camera flash would be cool.

who wants to do what?

All planned in advance and we can make full use of models and not waste time........

A weekday in April would suit me best please. Weekends I tend to spend with real brides (well Saturdays I do, Sunday's I'm in recovery!!).

Using portable flash is a must for me. I can bring my quadras and am more than happy to share them around.

Funnily enough I did something similar a few weeks back with Kerry and it went really well. Some pics if you wanna see:-

Interestingly I have two sets of Chinese made portable flash, included one that was branded as Lantraca Discovery, maybe can do a test drag race as well?

The only thing I can think of is if we can use inexperience models, this is as close as you can get to real subject?
 
Like Ryan, I would prefer a weekday, although would also prefer something later in the year if possible [late may/june/july perhaps?], happy to do school hols too if that is better for you Daryl and do have some weekends free, just less of them. Happy to go with the majority though.

I generally use OCF with speedlights so happy to play with those and anything else. One thing, is there a chance you can get the house/grounds in the evening? I am thinking nice light, sunset, dusk, etc, great time to play with OCF if you don't have quadra-esque power :lol:
 
Sat, Mid day to dusk? from mid May will be perfect for me although open to other suggestion

Saturdays are best as no other business staff are around. the Estate is more or less empty.

But in your previous comment you asked if people prefer weekend or midweek? Saturday's are the one day most people are going to be at a wedding :(
 
I will go with what most want to do Ryan. You need to remember that the Manor house is part of a business park. And is full on busy during the week. You may have staff wondering in the back ground.

Saturdays are better as the Biz park is empty.

Makes no odds to me.

Lol - sorry mate. I thought you were a man of leisure, sitting back on your throne while your minions attend to your every whim :D

Short answer - no, they don't charge extra for Sundays.

I can supply a model too if you like. This one:-

She has 7 wedding dresses in her collection now so she tells me.
 
Have you though anymore about this Daryl. Or has it been and gone....?

Will aim for Half term week in June. Recap then..... Weekdays or Weekend? I will go with the flow of the majority.

How many spaces do you think there can be? If lots, then I guess you go with the majority, but if there'll only be room for a few and weekends are better (so the general public aren't milling about), then go for a weekend.
 
I am definitely up for this. Please put my name down. I'm flexible on day's/dates.
Thanks,
Gary.
 
So do we want 2 couples? So we can split into 2 groups. We will do off camera flash too.

So the only cost will be for models. As the venue is free. Im thinking 8 togs ?

hotel down from the Manor house. A few togs stayed there during the School Photographer course. http://www.shillingfordbridgehotel.com/

Any idea of cost roughly? I might well be interested if there's space.
 
hi Daryl.
Are you starting to do a list of names yet, as I would like to know if I am lucky enough to be on it.

EDIT : Ahh, OK, you must have been adding the names as I typed this ! Doh!!

That 3rd June is a bank holiday isn't it?
Would be better for me if it wasn't then. (I know, I said I was flexible)
Any chance of a different day?
If it stays on the 3rd, I will still be there though.
How do you want to do the money stuff, pay by BT before, or on the day ?

Yes it is a Sunday. But that weekend is a bank holiday weekend. Just in case some didn't realise. Still count me in though.
 
Work depending I'd love to be there. Can you put my name down? Do you know an estimated cost?

Thanks
Jo
