Attack of the 50 ft Photographer-The Shelter Event


OK, maybe I'm not 50 ft tall, but you get the idea. This is an event that will take place at The Shelter club in Atlanta  sometime in the next month or 2. Davo and Michael have given the thumbs up, but, as with many of my conceptual proposals, I still need to get to the details. That's where you guys come in. Here's what I got so far. I do a "performance" shoot at the club with the patrons being the subject matter. A backdrop is placed, couple of reflectors, and maybe even a small fan, (wind machine... maybe call the event "Blow Job"?), and allow the patrons to participate as models. I.e., do it as I would shoot actual models. Participants can bring small props, (lollipops, boyfriends/girlfriends, favorite teddy bears,....whatever), and reveal their real selves. (which usually means you have to imbibe in a couple of Cam's or Amy's specialties) Of course, all the photos will go up on Facebook, some on my website, and I will provide a full size JPG emailed to all who contact me and ask for one. (so you can have an actual image made up to 16x24 inches)
So,....what does everyone think? What are your ideas? Suggestions are welcomed, no matter how outrageous you may think they are. (I'm a sick puppy, so don't worry about it) Just comment below, or on Facebook, and we can see if we can make this participatory event a great success. You are the stars here,...I'm just the guy documenting it.

Right now I'm thinking simple white backdrop, like below, but smack me up with what you guys would like to see. Whether you want to participate or just watch, dance and drink, it will be a great time at Shelter. As always.

I say no to white. It looks cold, boring, and like something from a Sears catalog. If the peeps make an effort to dress-up you should keep it interesting - Bring some color man!

I agree. :) Maybe work with the existing lounge area.
