Organized by yours truly.

Here are the details:

The idea is the same as here:

I thought about it before they did anyways. :p

I'll get ahold of a hot friend in a bikini and you'll have an X amount of time to shoot her. You can shoot all you want. You can bring all the lenses you want. All the bodies. Film or digital. The final should be in color. No flashes. No reflectors.


The date:
One of the first three days of July. Whichever one works out.


The location:
I am thinking Center Island, but it's not an ideal place in case it rains. Maybe... just maybe I'll be able to get permission to shoot on campus at U of T. There's some nice scenery there. Other suggestions welcome.
Do we need a permit in the center island?

The model:
Will probably be a friend of mine who never modeled. If you have someone fit and photogenic willing to do this, by all means speak out.

Legalese:
Contractual obligations. You and model keep your shots for portfolio only. You keep the copyright, but if I manage to do an exhibit in a gallery somewhere, I have the right to display the results.

Video:
If you are or know a video student willing to film the event, raise your hand.

Refreshments:
Either bring your own, or everybody can chip in a few bucks and we'll have a barbeque.

At the end of the day we'll go to a restaurant somewhere.

I need comments and ideas.

The major problem is the location right now. If you can think of a place which can be used:
1) in case it rains
2) where we'd have some privacy from the public
3) area for change/makeup for the model

Cool idea. I have a couple of thoughts on locations. The long weekend will likely make public areas busy.

At the top of the King Edward Hotel there's an unused ballroom with huge windows (http://www.infiltration.org/journal-kinged.html. This site is all about urban exploration in areas unintended for public access but you might be able to get permission from the Hotel. I've seen this ballroom used in several fashion mags for a location.

I have a good acquaintance that has a 6 acre estate in Islington with a pool, mature & well kept garden. I haven't seen him for a while but he may open the property for a shoot. The house is an older home, once belonging to some Italian mafia guy I think.
