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.
