Shooting Burlesque at the Dollhouse
This past weekend, I participated in my first group photoshoot with members of the Vancouver Strobist group (on Flickr).
After missing out on a studio shoot in January, I was invited to this one at The Dollhouse Studios. The models were members of the Sweet Soul Burlesque troupe and were fantastic to work with despite having a bunch of cameras on them literally all day.
It was pretty cool being around a bunch of other photographers (with a ton of interesting gear) and an stunning group of models with all kinds of energy and creative ideas plus an endless amount of amazing costumes.
I learned a ton about working with models, using my camera in a studio environment and had a great time meeting other local photographers. Not to mention putting together a shopping list of new gadgets I want for my camera bag.
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but can’t wait for the next opportunity to attend one of these events.
Check out the rest of my photos from the shoot on Flickr.

BTW – for some reason this post is coming up in “iPhone View” instead of “Normal View” and I can’t seem to switch it. Using FF on my macbook to view.

Yeah, it was a tough assignment ;)
Comes up normal for me in FF on the Mac…perhaps you were messing with the user agent settings in your browser?

[...] The only reason I wanted to attend was in order to see Joe McNally’s session. I’ve seen a number of videos he’s done and followed his blog for awhile. I missed out on the Strobist Meetup late last year where he just showed up (which led to me joining the Vancouver Strobist group and attending their next meetup). [...]
