2013 Spring Model Shootout at The Mishawaka

Update, 10 May: Photographers and models, we will be able to load in thru the “up mountain” back door of Mishawaka right to the green room instead of carrying everything in thru the restaurant.

Photographers – down at the bottom of this post I’ve added photos of models who have said “yes” or “maybe” to attending.

Update, 29 April: If you want to RSVP on Facebook and/or invite others here is the link to the Facebook event. Facebook and I don’t always get along. If you are not able to invite others let me know and I’ll try fixing that.

“Mishawaka is a legendary music venue, restaurant and bar located in the stunning Poudre Canyon in Bellvue, CO. ‘The Mish’ can be found 13.7 miles up the Poudre Canyon Highway (CO 14). The Highway begins approximately 10 miles northwest of Fort Collins.”

The restaurant and bar will be open while we are there. Expect other people to be around and looking at us like we are crazy. Please be respectful of the guests and staff of the Mishawaka.

The shootout is open to anyone and everyone. No modeling experience is required. If you think modeling is something you’d like to try this is a great chance to test drive it.

If you are a photographer but not experienced with shooting people this is a chance to learn from other photographers and try new things.

Future updates:

This page will be the latest and greatest information about the shoot at all times. If in doubt about anything check here first. Got any questions check here first.

Legal:

All photographers are responsible for their own model release forms. Models, you will or will not need to sign a release form at the discretion of individual photographers.

Photographs for models, stylist and anyone else:

Photographers, please make sure you get pictures to the models in return for their time. There are many other things they could be doing on a Sunday besides hanging out with us. Same goes for hair stylist, make-up artists, designers and so forth. If someone contributes to your photos get copies to them.

Models and everyone else, make sure your photographers have contact information so they can get the photos to you.

RSVP for models:

Please send me an email that you are interested in attending. If you have a website or online portfolio if you send me a link I’ll get that information to the photographers ahead of time.

General photographer information:

Bring any lighting equipment you will need. The Misawaka does have electricity but I suggest you bring extension cords. People will often share their lighting gear but that’s up to each photographer.

General model information:

While there may be make-up artists, hair stylist & clothing designers on hand and available do not assume they will be available. You should bring your own wardrobe and be ready to do your own make-up & hair.

If you are 17 or younger you will need a parent or guardian to sign release forms with you.
