What do you do when you have a photo shoot out say in a park and the client needs to change outfits (seniors)? I know you can find a close restroom, but i think I remember seeing a little pop-up like tent that a single person could get in and change if need be.....anyone have a link or experience with something like this?

Thanks!

I do not think you would be able to get anyone to change in that. (IMHO) It looks VERY odd.
I would definately be interersted to hear how it works out :)

I have had seniors change in cars before. My car has limo tint in the back so nobody can see in unless it is dark outside and the interior light is on.

Ed Pierce used something similar to that, but larger and less "dorky" looking. I could see if you had several outfit changes, but for one or 2, a car would be fine. Many parks have restrooms, too. Not always an option, though.

How are you supposed to get a shirt over your head while it's sticking out of that thing? I've seen some that are just open-ended tubes: I'd think that would be the thing to use...

I would be more embarrassed to be seen in public wearing that Clown Tube than be standing there in my undies!!!

Most Parks have a public restroom or take a couple light stands and a couple back drops and a few clamps

Looks like a beer can costume to me. Most of my clients change in their car, usually a van or large SUV with dark window tint. Everyone has dark window tint in Arizona.

Hmmm it could be a nice ice breaker with a model *LOL* OH MY!!!!! Can you imagine asking a model to change in that? Not to mention the attention it would attract from other people.

Yes, most highschool and college seniors I know would rather be outdoor in the buff rather than be seen with that thing... If you want to have a makeshift changing room, go to a camping store and see what types of quick assemble, high headroom tents they have. Some of those tents can be set up in 30 seconds and would provide enough room to change. And they are more stylish.

I bought mine off from Ebay. I've had two models use it so far and they loved it. Very easy to use.

Multi-pop (http://www.mypopuproom.com/)

Green Cabana Tent (http://www.walkergear.com/camping.htm)

"Frikon" pop-up (http://www.walkergear.com/camping.htm)

Pop-up Changing room (http://cgi.ebay.com/Portable-Pop-Up-Changing-Room-Lightweight-Camping-Purpl_W0QQitemZ370063828599QQihZ024QQcategoryZ3611 8QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotoho sting)

The Green Cabana Tent and the Pop-Up changing room(ebay) look like the best options to me. Both are tall enough to be useful. While I don't mind the idea of an open top pop-up I'd prefer they were taller.

That changing tube looks hilarious.
