As some of you know, each year at WPPI I put together photoshoots. We started this in 2009 at the Neon Boneyard. You can read the blog post from my experience at WPPI that year and some photos from that shoot here. We have grown our shoots bigger and better each year, making them more elaborate by adding more models and fashion. We have also added more sponsors. What does that mean? More goodies for you of course! All we ask from our sponsors is that they provide a giveaway 0r discount available to our attendees. All of our sponsors are professionals we respect and have products we would endorse.
What shoots do we have this year you ask:
Clark County Heritage Museum. What on earth is that, you might be thinking? Well this museum has a 30-acre site that features a modern exhibit hall with a timeline exhibit about southern Nevada from pre-historic to modern times and a collection of restored historic buildings that depict daily life from different decades in Las Vegas, Boulder City, Henderson, and Goldfield. Vintage wedding chapel, train depot, old rustic wagons and barns, and some vintage cars.

We are also going back to Nelson Nevada Ghost Town. While we just did this last year there was overwhelming demand for us to go back. This place is HUGE and there are sooo many spots all around this location. I don’t think anyone got to all of them last year. From old barns and old cars, to a bus, an old crashed plane, desert fields, and a sprawling mountain backdrop… the shots are endless.

The great thing (in my opinion) about these shoots, we make sure to have enough models for everyone to break into small groups. I am no fan of the paparazzi style of shooting, so we try to limit it to 5-6 photogs per model and everyone rotates around. Josh and I check-in with the groups, making sure that everyone is having a good time. We work with each group, walking around to make sure everyone is getting a fair amount of time with each model in each area. We don’t regulate and assign you to groups, but we believe in keeping it small and hope you branch off to meet new people and try new things during these shoots. Our greatest desire is for you to get a chance to shoot for yourself. Step outside of your comfort zone and try some things you have wanted to try but found it too hard to take the risk in the midst of a paying client’s shoot.
We try to have a nice selection of models and for both shoots we are going to have Bride/Groom, as well as fashion. So, there is a little something for everyone. It truly is a great time, and we just want you to spend a few hours shooting and enjoying yourself.
