Kurt.Paris is a group administrator Kurt.Paris says:

Dear Students,

It has come to our attention that you have been naughty.... VERY naughty, and as such you are being given a special detention reserved only for the most naughty, foul and disgusting students...

This event will be on Saturday 10th of July at mk2 Studios in qormi (http://www.mk2studios.com/map.php) and only 20 of you will be accepted. The rest will be shot. :P

Booking is strictly on a first come first served basis and you can book by email at kparis@gmail.com. A minimum of 10eur donation will confirm your booking.

Ze Schedule:
10:30 - 12:30: Classroom style Discussion (topics below).
12:30 - 1:30: Break for lunch/snack,
(Behind the scenes... models arrive and makeups/styling begin)
13:30 - 14:00: Small primer on lighting
14:00 - 18:00: "Students on Detention" themed shoot

The presentation topics covered will be:

- What is istock?
- How iS works (inspection/royalties/canisters etc)
- Uploading: Tips, Tricks and Deepmeta
- Legal requirements of shooting stock
- The various collections at istock and what they mean to contributors
- Closer look at the inspection process
- Taking pics vs concepts etc.
- The istockalypse programme

F.A.Q

How do i book?

Email me on kparis@gmail.com with the names of people you are booking for. You will then have a limited time to pass along the money (Bank transfer/ Mail/ By Hand/ By Carrier Pidgeon). Bookings will only (and i do mean only) be confirmed upon receipt of ze moneh.

Where are my 10 eur going?

This is a not-for-profit event: the money raised will go for (in this order) Projector, Chair rental & Electricity cost, Models, Makeup, Props, Beer/Snacks.

Can i give less?

No :)

Can i give more?

Yes! :) The more money collected the more models & better props we'll have. Anything extra will go for drinks and snacks for us to enjoy on the day. Giving more money does not mean you will get any special treatment/entitlement all the day. Shoot time will be divisible equally between all attendees.

Can i bring friends/family/relatives/pets?

No :) The studio will be pretty pack with us, the models and the equipment so only attendees will be allowed in for a long period. (Occasional 5min visits from your better/worse halves is ok :P)

How do i get there?

www.mk2studios.com/map.php - Map + Driving directions.. cool see? :)

Where can i use the Photos we take?
All the photos in the themed shoot will be model released. The release will allow you to upload these to your portfolio sites, however sale of the images will only be allowed through istockphoto. I'll also be expecting some photos from each photographer to distribute to the models.

What is the Themed Shoot?
There will be a number of actors/models (styled and made up), props and settings which we will be shooting. Attendees will be given 10mins slots of shooting time and the order of the attendees will be decided randomly on the day. Depending on budget, we will have 1 or 2 shooting stations - in case we have 2 stations there will be time for additional/larger slots since 2 photographers will be shooting concurrently.

What equipment do i need?
For the discussion... nothing :)
For the themed shoot Lights etc will be available and set-up... you will need your camera though, any SLR +lens will do.

Please check your facts - medicine prices are set by the distributors... also remember we are the only professionals who do not get paid for our services - which is why I work in the Industry.

I have been saving for this for some time now - will break piggy bank - have loads of 1c coins - so if it is volume you want, volume you will get

Ok, let's say my Carrier Pigeon loses its way (it tends to happen nowadays with all the traffic congestions and blocked roads and stuff), would I be excused and allowed to come anyways? =D

nope you will be hung from the village arblu and shot! :P

you coming? :)

Christina.Goggi says:

Lol at ‘village arblu’ – YOU would have gotten shot for that by one of my lecturers!

I’m reconsidering it now that you said you would shoot me if my beloved pigeon didn’t make it with ze money… you see it’s not even safe for the poor pigeon; the chances of it being shot by some hunter are quite high =P

Of course I’m coming you silly goose! Any form of education at a low price (or free) is worth taking ;) I'll pay you there though.

Sees you Light Guru!

Thanks Jakov!

some updates from my end:

we are going to be 15 attendees which means more time for everyone to shoot, also the lecture might be shortened from 2 hours so as to give us might time for a Question/Answer type thing

We have 1 female Teacher and 4 children as actors for the themed shoot. Children are going to be 2boys and 2 girls, 14-16yrs old and will have a normal shool uniform and a 'themed' outfit each.

The actors and props are going to be provided by Drama Troupe (http://www.smc.edu.mt/smc/content.aspx?id=123041)
