Photographic Education & Photo Model Sessions
Since the very beginning nearly six years ago, every Photo Model Sessions event has always had a strong educational component integrated into the core of the program.
Aside from the built-in fun and excitement of Photo Model Sessions we are here to learn, to teach and to share. All with the specific intent to improve our artistic, technical and professional skills while enhancing our social and professional networks with other serious models and photographers.
For those photographers who wish to benefit from professional instruction this Sunday, you will be happy to know that Jose Urdaneta of Lancaster will be setting up three fully lighted photo stations on premises for the models. He will be providing valuable guidance and instruction on studio lighting, equipment and posing. There is no additional charge to avail yourself of his considerable expertise. If you have been undecided about attending, this should be the push you have been waiting for.
If you have Pocket Wizards or radio transmitters for your camera, please bring them with you!
Jose owns and operates Urdaneta Photography, the Premier Studio in Lancaster, Pa. Jose specializes in his passion, people photography: Boudoir, Weddings, Engagement, Portrait and Talent. Jose has been shooting professionally for over 20 years. I have personally worked with Jose on several important photo shoots.
In addition to his serious side of creative and technical know-how, Jose brings a dynamic, energetic personality that keeps things moving and keeps things FUN! You will learn a lot and love it!

Room Temperature:
We are shooting in a large subterranean concert hall in the middle of a Mid-Atlantic February. Fortunately it's been a record-breaking warm winter. I've made a few recent excursions to the venue to check the comfort levels. It's perfectly comfortable! Maybe a tad bit on the chilly side, but the lights and activity will warm things up quickly. Models will undoubtedly be more comfortable with an occasional wrap than sweating and perspiring throughout the afternoon in a warm room, Besides, goose bumps are sexy!

What should I bring to wear?
Remember: We are shooting for YOU; not for a designer, a label or a magazine.
So bring things that YOU will feel comfortable in.
Also bring things you will feel UNcomfortable in! (This is a great way to get surprisingly interesting and unexpected images!)
Bring things that express the real YOU and bring things that you would never dream of wearing outside of a Photo Model Session. Again - push your limits!
Bring things that are romantic, outrageous, traditional, sexy, erotic, exotic, lacey, frilly, leathery, fetishy. Bring gowns, suits, torn jeans, shorts, corsets, lingerie, swimwear, nylons, heels, ripped shirts, etc.
Remember, this is NOT K-Mart or JC Penney on Picture Day! Make it special. Make it count. Make it memorable. Break the invisible mold that everyone thinks they have of you. Create YOUR OWN iconic image that YOU want to see on a 30x40 poster selling a couple million copies!
If possible, you should plan to bring a change of clothes for every 45 minutes or every hour you plan to be here. And remember: this is not about how much you spend for an outfit! This is about your personal sense of STYLE!
