Halloween Model Shootout for the PHOTOGRAPHERS - Radnor Lake - 3pm - 2.5 hours
Nashville Photography Society is hosting a "Model Shootout" Halloween Theme
Do you want to photograph models?
Do you need professional images for your portfolio?
Upcoming models and photographers will come together for one big event to help each other create opportunities in their chosen industries.
Models will receive images from a range of photographers in different styles to build their portfolio and make a great first impression on agencies and clients. Bring along as many changes of clothing you want to create different looks.
Photographers will have a range of models to shoot in one location to build their own portfolio, and also an instructor on hand to help them develop their skills and to co-ordinate the images for the models
Halloween Photography is a collision of everything spooky and fun. Remember that you want your photos to look creepy and mysterious, and a harsh and mysterious. So, get your camera ready for all of the creative photo ops! As the model you do have the choice to get into theme if you prefer not to this is totally fine.
Our host is Kae Wrenn, the Nashville Photography Society instructor, who will be overseeing the photographers and models on the day. Kae will be collecting a copy of all the images from the photographers at the end of the meetup, to lightly edit and distribute the images to the models. The photographers are responsible for their own editing.
All photographers registering for this event must agree to share their best shots of each model royalty free with that model. Models agree that any shots taken can be used by each photographer in their own portfolios and marketing (online or in print), but not sold for commercial use.
The fee for the day is $28 for each model, and $28 for each photographer.

Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from beginners to keen amateurs. The photography instructor is there to help you with camera settings and provide any advice you need.
What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!
What’s involved? Each session starts with an introduction to the theme, and the photography instructor will chat about the camera settings and techniques to use. You’ll then have time to take lots of photos, with the instructor present to answer any questions. You’ll receive feedback and have a chance to chat with everyone to share tips and ideas. We’re a social bunch!
After group editing session. After each group the instructor runs an optional 1.5 hour critique, select, and edit session to help you improve your important post-shoot skills. While much editing can be done on modern cameras, it's best to bring a tablet or laptop with editing software to get the most out of this session. Select this option when booking to attend.
The meeting point and full details for the day are sent in the booking confirmation email to the email address you provide at time of booking.
We also occasionally hold more formal beginners classes which last 3 hours and are limited to 6 people. These classes are perfect for complete beginners who want to start using manual mode and those who want to brush up on the basics. See the dates below.

Fall is upon us and that means it’s time to take some memorable foliage photos. The turning leaves create vibrant multicolor scenes that almost photograph themselves.

It is essential to have some knowledge of your equipment for our meetups. If you are a complete beginner please look at booking Beginners Photography workshop first.

For this meetup, it's necessary to have a firm understanding of your cameras basic settings with a little bit of experience under your belt. It's also good to bring a telephoto lens as these are critical for wildlife photography.

It was a beautiful day and a gorgeous place to walk around and take pictures. I do think a macro class would be more beneficial with flowers and such around to take photos of and practice macro techniques with. I love the conversations that go on during the outings. I like getting to know and talk to other photographers that are in a similar place in their photographic journey.
