Hi all,

Studios are especially useful in times of bad weather, especially during the year end showers. Model shoot organisers will also benefit from what I have to offer.

I noticed that most of the current studios available are in the East or CBD and some pple have enquired about studios located in the West.
Why pay market rates for a studio when you can get it free?

My main aim in this post is to offer the use of my studio and studio equipment in return for an opportunity to work together and improve my portfolio at the same time.

I am pleased to offer to you guys, an invitation to use my personal studio in Clementi for your model shoots on the following conditions:

1. I am mainly opening this up to be a no-cost thing if I think that your shoot gives me an opportunity to improve my own portfolio at the same time.

2. Anyone is welcomed to apply. If your application is approved (subject to availability & other considerations), I will contact you to tie up with you on the details of the shoot. As space/slots are limited, I would have to screen and assess all applications and therefore seek your understanding if your application is not approved for whatever reason.

3. You will still have to get your own makeup artist or I can arrange one for you at your own cost if desired. If for whatever reason you need a model, (which would be strange IMO especially if you are out looking for a studio) I can help you source.

4. Shoots are usually on weekends. Weekdays may also be possible if there are overriding factors involved.

5. If you are doing a commercial assignment, kindly indicate to me upfront as there are other considerations involved in a commercial shoot.

6. Some of the major equipment available in the studio is as follows:

(a) Bowens 500W x 3
(b) Bowens 250W x 2
(c) 80 x 60 softbox x 1
(d) 90 x 120 softbox x 1
(e) 1.5m umbrella softbox x 1 + small umbrella shoot through x 1
(f) Standard dish reflectors
(g) Grid reflectors with a set of grids
(h) Backlite Reflector (to create an oval patch of light on background)
(i) Barn Doors + Gels
(j) Triflector MKII (for beauty/makeover style shoots)
(k) 5-in-one 80cm reflector
(l) Boom Stand (for overhead lighting)
(m) Lightmeter
(n) 4 colours of seamless paper - black/white/blue/green
(o) 2 muslin old master style backgrounds
(p) IR Triggers x 3
(q) Sync Cords + hotshoe adapters

7. Other than shooting in my studio, I can also transport the above equipment for on-location shoots e.g. in hotel rooms, clubs etc. Kindly contact me for details.

Any model shoot organisers who are keen in a long term collaboration for studio/on-location shoots may also contact me for further discussions as I am currently looking for long-term partners.

If you're interested in any of the above, kindly pm me to discuss.

Finally, I would be grateful if any OT or unncessary comments are kept out of this thread, any issues, please pm me directly.

Cheers!

Hi, vince123123,
Newbie here. Can join in and learn? :bsmilie:
 

I hope that I'll not offend anyone here, vince123123 please don't take this the wrong way but I remember a few months ago there's a studio in the west, I think it is also in Clementi, who offer free model shoot for selected photographers but when the photographers arrived, there was no shoot.
As I said, please don't take offence, but is there any connections between the 2? I'm sure there're some other CSers here who have the same question in mind.
 

nope no offence taken. Let me clarify for those in doubt.

That free model shoot was organised by Sean and he used my studio for that purpose. I was not involved in the liason and my only role is that he used my studio for his shoot. The shoot did materialise as far as I know as a total of 4 photographers turned up. You'd have to ask Sean why there were photographers felt that it did not materialise as I am not involved in the organisation, but from what I read in the clubsnap thread, it was those photographers themselves who lost Sean's contact number and were unable to find the place.

As it was an arm's length transaction, I'm sure that if hypothetically and objectively speaking, if an organiser rents a studio from a studio owner, and the organiser runs into problems with the participants, the studio owner shouldn't be made involved correct?

I hope that I have sufficiently clarified your queries.

I am only offering the studio, the rest you will settle. If you want me to help I can help you source. Anyway nothing is for free, what I get is the opportunity to build my portfolio.

Btw, I dont look too highly of pple who register a new nick and start posting inflammatory posts and I would be grateful if you could refrain from doing so. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Thank you vince123123 for the clarification and also for not taking offence.

I do agreed with you that if a studio is rented/use by someone else than the responsibility of the shoot falls on the organiser of the shoot and not the studio owner.
What you're doing is very good for CSers here. It can help newbies to improve themself at lower cost and at the same time let those interested, to get a feel of studio shoot. I'm a studio owner myself and if you need any help, I'll be glad to help in any way I can. Lastly, I wish you every success in your venture.
 

upszzzz!! for you vince123123 :thumbsup:
