- Editorial Glamour - Tutorial and PracticeMerivale Photographic Studio, Ottawa, ONCA$40.00
Editorial glamour photography is a genre that combines the allure and elegance of glamour photography with the storytelling and thematic elements of editorial photography.
As a prelude to Ottawa Fashion Week in October, we are running another promo event to increase awareness and raise funds.
This event features professional MUA Yasmin Rachelle Bourge. You can see her work at Chair de Pinceau-Makeup Artist (@chairdepinceaumua)
She will be doing lovely editorial glam looks for 3 separate models, and we'll be shooting them 1 per hour starting at 6pm. There are only four RSVPs per hour, but you can RSVP for more than one hour.
Each hour we will focus on one model (perhaps doing a short duo with the prior hour's model before she leaves). In each one-hour session, I will be providing guidance on Lighting & Posing covering topics like:
(we'll tailor this to each attendee's needs and interests)- Light ratios
- Selecting modifiers
- Ambient vs flash
- Posing using hands
- Eye direction
- Camera height impacts
- Framing and cropping
- Posing vs Directing
This is a hands-on session. No special experience is needed. We provide the lighting. You just need a camera with a standard flash Hot-Shoe.
Each hour is $40. You can RSVP for more than one hour by adding "Guests". EG: 1 guest = 1 extra hour for a total for 2 hours and you will be prompted to pay for 2 hours.
If you want to do all three hours, the flat fee is $100 for all 3.
Just use promo code etransfer. Then you will not be prompted for payment right away. You MUST however then etransfer the full $100 event fee to [email protected] -- and do this within 2 hours to lock in your seat. Otherwise your RSVP can be annulled and someone else may RSVP.We will slot people into your preferred timeslots on a best effort basis. So be sure to let us know if you have any special constraints.

Autumn colours are always popular with models and photographers alike. So once again I am organizing a fun fall fashion event.
This is a great opportunity for collaboration, networking, and creating fun images. It is an open event, all TF (Trade For) images. Similar location has been popular with past Meetups. (Free Parking, Bus Accessible, Washrooms)
While I set the event date to Oct 8th, we may need to adjust if the leaves are not ready, we have heavy rain,...

I'll post a list of models as they RSVP.
In the meantime, please also complete the Photographer Registration info at this link: https://forms.gle/PJRkkm6gfSDTSD7z8Model Registration - https://forms.gle/Z6z4Y5hE2CJY8Ck8A
I'll aim for a max RSVP will be set to permit a 3:1 shooting ratio, or better. If photographers RSVPs are too high for the number of models, I will limit attendees to paid up Meetup Members.
***
While there is no cost for the event, members with currently paid-up dues will get preference.
I know Meetup keeps changing their layout and is playing peek-a-boo with the membership dues button. On their silly app, it's not even available. So your best bet is to just follow this link to the membership dues page at:
