ABOUT THE VENUE
Cultúrlann Newmarket is a beautifully renovated old Protestant church, transformed into a vibrant cultural hub in the heart of Duhallow, Newmarket, North Cork. We will be creating sets using a combination of backdrops, natural ambience and props for each set.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We believe firmly that group events should allow everyone attending to get an equal opportunity to shoot with each of the models. We arrange attendees into groups of three and then rotate each group around the sets in turn approximately every 40 minutes with a twenty minute comfort break after your second set. Our events are run with precise timings so that it works for everyone involved. On this event each attendee will get to work with each of the models in turn.
LIGHTS/ACTION?
Lighting equipment will be provided on each set indoors where necessary for your use. The use of lighting equipment is included within your admission price. We will be on hand to provide assistance using the lights and to instruct on camera settings, composition and how to get the best out of each model.
You are also welcome to bring along your own lighting rigs if you are more comfortable using them but you must keep them with you at all times.
