What are Ultimate Shootouts?
The Ultimate Shootouts are HIGHLY collaborative events where photographers, models, makeup artists, and hairstylists converge for day-long photoshoots throughout Southern California. The purpose of these events are to build portfolios, gain experience, network with others, AND have a great time doing so!
The organizers of the SoCal Photography Group work professionally in their trade, with the experience and knowledge to support and advise those with similar aspirations. The true strength of the group, however, comes from its members, where diverse perspectives, styles, and talents create an enjoyable & highly efficient experience everyone can enjoy.
Who can participate?
This shootout is aimed towards photographers, models, makeup artists, and hairstylists who are serious about their work!
What do I bring?
This is a collaborative event, and as such, each artist brings their knowledge and the tools they need to create the shots they need.
Photographers: Cameras & lighting
Models: Outfits & Accessories
Makeup Artists & Hairstylists: Hair & Makeup Kits
How do I get my photos?
Each photographer is obligated to provide high-res images to those who have contributed to the final shot. To make things easier for everyone due to the dynamic nature of the event, photographers (at the minimum) should tag the models, who then tag the MUAs and Hairstylists who contributed on Facebook. This allows everyone to quickly find their images!
Photographers would do well to have their own release forms. Photographers may not charge for photos taken during the event. Models are expected to read and review before signing ANYthing, and assistance in reviewing contracts before signing is available.
In a nutshell, models meet with MUAs and hairstylists early in the day to get dolled up, then shoot with photographers who are set up and ready to go. Once a shoot is done (I suggest 30min – 1 hour for each shoot), the model and photographer may work with others who are available. The beauty of this event is that you can work with MANY people in one day, so the more you put yourself out there, the more opportunities you will have.
There are no assigned groups or time limits, which allows the freedom to begin and end each shoot as you see fit. With everyone focused on shooting, this environment is entirely motivating!
Are minors allowed to participate?
Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to participate. A release form signed by parents must be presented when checking in, as well as be able to sign release forms provided by photographers.
I have a question, who can I contact?
