Paulo – Event Coordiator

And idea for our next Open House...

Time to catch up on what you’ve been up to and have planned for the Fall!

Some of the events planned for the Open House…

- shooting with a tethered Canon 5D

- night time location shoot at the skateboard park and other sites we’ve discovered in the area

-  how to use old canvas sails from the Chesapeake as privacy screens in DC alleyways!

plus lots of news and events planned for October

As always, as this is a private event, YOU MUST RSVP to be put on the mailing list!

Stay posted as the September newsletter will be going out shortly, with information on our next urban landscape, fashion and figurative workshops.

The LA Riot Fashion show was a great success and we are planning a follow up event combined with workshop for the future.

Studio is operating as normal and available for reservation.  Check the Calendar for available dates.

We are not holding workshops in July and August,  as we are planning our coop activities, which will begin again in September.

here are some pics from our dry run with La Riot Clothing photographed by Phil. We will be hosing a full fashion show in EFN lounge next weekend.

We hosted our first Open House on the Chesapeake at Paulo’s little piece of heaven on earth.  The place is gorgeous and makes you want to relax and take in the sun rather than take any photos (as Matt pointed out early on).  The open house reunited familiar faces and welcomed new ones as well.  For this openhouse we had about 6 or 7 photographers (paulo, bo, matt, john, ray, greg and a couple others), 5 models (katelin, madison, britney, yubin and keriann  ), MUA (chontae), hair stylist(Britney), clothes designer (booshie designs)  and their families/spouses/assitants etc.  We had all the ingrediants for a big fashion shoot.   Here are a few documentary photos from the shoot.  The actual model shoots with come later on.

It’s not all photography, as you can see everyone playing by the dock.  Greg has finally managed to get his big kite up in the air.  Katelin posing by the pier.  Bo walking back for a lens.  Paulo probably in the house looking for a cigar.  If this was a photoshoot, it was one of the most relaxed ones I’ve been on…sipping on mojitos made by Katelin and Capt. Chris.    And savoury BBQ Pork to boot.  It was more of a picnic than a photoshoot.
