Every year, numerous communities around the globe host group photo shoots designed to help models and photographers find each other. There are tons of benefits to everyone, since you can essentially go to just one location and work with five to six new photographers, models, or both. (Some folks do modeling half the day and photography half the day.) Sometimes these are hosted by colleges with large artist/photographer populations and sometimes they’re used by major ad and marketing agencies to spot new talent on both the photographic and modeling front.

Posted By Phoebe Bell on Nov 28, 2013 in Creative Arts, Creative Arts: Multimedia, Creative Arts: Stories/Serials, Origin: Official Contributor, Type: Article (w/ Photos)

This mind bending tale is birthed from a drunken bender and one night stand between the disreputable questions: “What if the Devil owned an Instant Custard factory?” and “What happens when the Devil’s old friend Death drops by for a chat?” Everything that proceeds from this bastard lineage is unexpected, shocking, and highly entertaining!
