FEMALE MODEL PHOTOGRAPHY
Lower Level of Campus Center (Skip Hoyt, MNEC)
There will be monitored female model sets Saturday and Sunday. Indoors each photographer may photograph the model in three poses over a maximum time of two minutes. There will be different lighting set-ups in the model rooms on the lower level of the Campus Center. In the outdoor sets, also monitored but un-timed, the model will pose starting at one end of the group of photographers through to the end of the group and then start over. The model will make eye contact with each photographer and move to the next photographer. The locations will be at the pond, the Campus Center Concourse (under the hotel overhang-3rd floor) and at the church.
