So a coworker of mine and I came up with an idea, and I want some suggestions for how to make it work. My coworker is a really good portraiture photographer and works with a lot of models. I was thinking about organizing a full blown photoshoot day with a number of models and cars, maybe about 10 models and 20 cars.

"But Tonk, how is this different than any other car wash/model event that has been done before?"

The difference between this and other events is that this will be professionally organized and will be well laid out. It will not be rushed like some of the other events have been, and it will be classy yet sexy at the same time.

We would need it to be in a spot that is large enough to host this type of event. Something like At Speed's shop, for example. That way we could have multiple photographers taking pictures of models and cars. Then after the event, the photographers can all submit/post their photos for everyone to see. The owners of the cars can contact the photographers for high-resolution pictures if they want, and can even get them printed, etc.

Ideally, nobody would have to pay for anything. The shop is being promoted and can offer coupons/service deals if they want. The models are getting exposure to build their portfolio. The car owners are getting awesome photos of their cars taken for free. Then after the event, we could all go out for food somewhere and we could all throw in a few extra dollars to treat the models for dinner.

In terms of timing, I was thinking about doing it in the late spring/early summer so it's not too hot but not too cool either. At this time it's all up in the air so I'd love to get some feedback.

THOUGHTS???

 

come on tonk models don't eat

Sounds like an excellent idea if you can pull it off, I would be in for sure.

 

I can also contribute, I do pro photo/video as well, I have good collection of prime equipments that I can bring.

 

I was actually hoping you'd contribute since you are a very talented photographer! Gotta get ssong out there too.

 

If I can get into my new car by the time this happens I'd love to get some professional photo's done of my car...

 

I will gladly drool over the "models".

 

Thanks for the compliments Tonk, only a pro can recognize one of their own
Once everything is finalized we can coordinate and do a little photo/video slideshow out of this shoot.

 

I'm curious to see what these models will look like....

 

Tonk and Sid...I have a Fisher Price point n shoot and would like to contribute as well , would that be ok?

Count me in for 2 cars

Brother Bonefish...what is your next car? Please don't leave us waiting in suspense...

 

 

^^^^^^

 

^^^ Mark does that answer your question bro???

Leave it to Tonk to do the model selections and it'll look like a 2 Live Crew video shoot!!! hahaha

 

what the hell is that?? talk about not safe for work...oops. i may still look

 

Just because I hook up with the sistas when I'm tipsy on crunk juice doesn't mean that's the types of models we'll have (although I'm sure we'll have one or two...can't discriminate against beauty!)

Anyway, let's try to stay on topic fellas, I know it's hard to do

 

Count me in. There's food right?
