I can see few new Brisbane gangs lately! Welcome all of you to the D70Users forum.
Well, if there's an official meet up there, We, Sydney members are interested to fly up for a day.

It would be great to meet a few faces... already had the pleasure to meet both cricketfan and bago100.. it would be wonderful to also meet nsw and other state members..

i'm looking forward to a NSW vs QLD outing... something like visiting a national park and everyone putting in their best (one) shot...

I'm sure the qlders will come up trumps

shoul we have a state of origin comp

Gerard.. that would be wonderful... I like to do some more people photography.

expect a PM.  PS: Welcome to the forums.. hope you enjoy your stay.

Hey folks
I have been the photographer for http://www.jessellemodels.com (with the D70) and up until this weekend I was sort of half owner - I have handed over the reigns to my little sister who will be buying a D70 very soon. So I could russle up a few of the females on there.

Gerard, that would make it worth my while to fly to QLD for your meet.

Maybe if folks we could get a list of models together and Jesselle could run a theme shoot like on the farm or something like that. Hell I had better run it past the owner and my sister before I make plans but I am sure I could sell it to them if you happy folk could spread the Jesselle name as far as possible......
Oh and just make sure we supply the girls with the photos

You may want to check... and if all is well start a new thread as Brisbane Model Shoot or something similar... get some definite numbers so that the models and Jesselle get as much exposure as possible.

I'm more than happy to lend a hand if you need any organising etc etc. Just holla.

Cheers

Don't forget to get your models to sign a model release form.

Would you like me to make up a generic form to cover everyone?
I don't mind at all I have access to a few....

I think that everyone would probably need to have their own release form, just to keep it all kosher. Certainly they would need at least their own copy of one for each of the models they shoot.

I know in Dallas there's a group that organises regular workshops with models. I think that rather than TFP, they organise for a contribution from each participating photographer and that goes to the model(s) as their fee.

Certainly either way would be fine from my own perspective; I've long been jealous of this "facility" in Dallas.

What about location? Studio? Backyard? Parkland?

Lighting setups?

A couple of other questions ...

Are all of the models Qld based, or do some of them live elesewhere, so that we can perhaps organise these for other states as well?

How computer lierate are the models ? Do some of them wish to join in the forums with us here to discuss issues that they may have and/or help organise these sorts of things?

Hey Gary - Unfortunately all of our models are only queensland based ....
I would say most of them would be computer literate - however I would be very very hesitant to include models, I have seen photography forums turn into modelling forums very very quickly with bitchiness and cattiness running rampant, plus the models Jesselle has, they cannot share their personal details as they are exclusively contracted to Jesselle.

What I would suggest though is the group getting ahold of a group of girls local to you through http://www.ozmodel.com.au - most of the girls do TFP/TFCD work on there go and do a theme shoot with them somewhere around Sydney..... Likewise anywhere in the country...

I think this is over though but will be very interested if there is a next event.
