80’s-style Prom Shoot


Location: Studio four30, 30 Marier Ave, Ottawa, ON

Time/Date: Sat, Mar 26, 2011 · 5:45 PM to 8:45 PM EDT


The prom shoot is going to be fantastic! , it is completely full in terms of photographers, I’m still looking for 3 models – there is a waiting list for photographers in case someone needs to cancel. I have decided to go ahead with one session – the evening one. There was lack of interest in the afternoon session, also having one session is much easier to plan, and I can make the evening session longer. There will be 8-9 photographers, and 14-26 models. If you do know a model that would like to attend please let them know A.S.A.P – I do expect the last spaces to fill quickly. As always please email me any questions or concerns – I would be happy to help in any way I can. At this time I have been able to find 8 dresses that are ‘promish’ in design, they will be available for models to borrow at the shoot. I will be bringing a long blonde wig, as well as a long brown one with blonde highlights. I look forward to collaborating with everyone! thanks for the support and interest.

There is also the opportunity for models to have a spray tan, Sindy Sun (one of my sponsors.) will be set up right at the studio, What is more 80’s than a great tan?
