Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

This has already been planned and booked, but I thought I would do a write up as I have another one in September in Nagano. I am also working on putting together something in Tokyo as well. My biggest problem is getting the funds to get to Tokyo, pay for the models, and the services of a hair stylist to in the area to help with the hair, make, and fasion. I’m definitely gearing up for something in Tokyo for both September and October. Whether they will be meets or photoshoots I am not sure.

If it rains, we can do almost everything indoors. No worries!

Why 5? Allows for more in depth work with the models and for bouncing thoughts of other photographers. Limits people standing around and gets everyone involved more. Lots of shooting!
