Hi
I keep seeing chaps wanting photos lets say of "Classic " models

If there any land owners , Farmers , who have private land & can offer a Weekend or Saturday for arrangements of a Meet the Models and video /stills.

Rather like certain London Studios used to do in the 90's

Then a group pay to meet and take happy snaps with todays Iphone ...

I'm in if the area is in the Southern area , If Northern could be with Plans

Thanks Very Much

Could you get hold of the classic models?
Would be great?
Where would it take place?
There are alot of naturist beaches on the south coast including The Isle of Sheppey! Lol!

I would rather have it on private land , it would not allow some folks just turning up or folks on the beaches have an hoard of cameras and fun models causing
a few problems.

You are the first to show an interest, Though I NEED the OFFER of a LOCATION to then ask the land owner ....

Having to RESET due to simpleton ,

Hi

On this there is a naturist location in Kent, there have been in the past shoots there, from memory The F8 Club. Name escapes me but I understand there has been Swinger Parties there so should still be camera friendly

In addition to this there is a place with a name something like Hadlow Tower this has been used regularly in the past for shoots

On the above two there should be others on here with more in depth knowledge

You are right that in the 90s the studios did have "Meet the Models" the better one was at The Beehive, they had good relations with the Kennington Camera Club and Terry would bring along some of the models on their books, Bob Tanner and Mike Clarke did organise these well

In addition two other studios Y2K and Orbit did have these as well. At the Tower Mick was not so keen, he told me that the problem was they attracted t0 many one shoot wonders

Perhaps if there was a organised shoot on the basis of "Meet the Models" it would be better if a indoor location in London could be found

Worth Considering

Though to be honest : These days the camera owners , I find big Egos and not wish to be a fun time .

Mick at Tower was a very friendly man who was a genuinely appreciated some folks


He put in touch with one of his studio models and I took Her to Lanzarote.

Good fun , Plus his shoots out door were great value . Though again those were Film days ... Today is all different

Hi M25
There is a place in the Pinner area where they have photo shoots of top girls. I'm sure it's The Grange Guest house. They have their own private garden.
Went there about 20 years ago and met Vida and Louise and many more top models.

Many thanks for this .

I am really tempted to pursue an option for an outside shoot , but

Hate to admit, that due to Covid and a few experiences , I can't be sure for safely reasons .

Face masks , 2m distance.


Things sure ain't what they used to be

Hi M25

On this besides Covid-19 there may be additional problems, if you were looking to organise a group shoot outside

Speaking to one of my friends about this he was saying that the days of the group shoots may well be over.

He was saying one of his friends organised these, and would bring a model in for the shoot.

Models who were getting ?75.00 ph for toys would get ?50.00 plus and additional ?15.00 ph for each cameraman after the first one so if there were 5 the girl would get ?110.00 and on a 6 hour shoot this was superb money, cash on the day.

Nothing has happened in the last 3 years as one model wanted an additional hour for travelling to Gidea Park, other models were keen to work with him but refused the group shoot option as to intrusive.

20 years ago Rachel Sykes did a gingle girl with toys for Y2K Christmas shoot without any problems

The guy went on to say that despite the model websites PP MM etc there is a reluctance of the better quality models to work with amateurs

You had a good idea but I think you may get more problems than it is worth but I wish you well and hopefully you get some results
