We’ve talked about: What is a Group Shoot? Then yesterday, we moved on to: How do you prepare for your group shoot? Now we move on to the actual day of the group shoot! The following 8 pieces of advice are written from the perspective of a model, since I get so many of them asking how to prepare for these types of group shoots. However, almost everything (even the ‘Games’ advice) can be done by photographers with just a little modification.

V’s Guide to Group Shoots #1: What are Group Shoots? [ARTICLE]
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. However, usually, they’re hosted by…

V for VERITAS: The Truth In A Lie [EDITORIAL]
I’m known as Veronika Gypsy, but everyone just calls me, V. Your editor and I know one another because we both do photography with alternative models and we tend to hear some really amazing stories. As we got to talking, he suggested that I write for you because, with a little ingenuity, I can tell stories that others cannot. We decided that I would use a pseudonym and that I would change many of the details about my life so that no one would know who I was. By using a public lie like this, I could tell the truth about some amazing women I’ve worked with without risking anyone’s identity…

Vamp Bites: On The band, ‘nolongerhuman’ [MUSIC EDITORIAL]
This band has not only hit the major targets to position itself in a person’s favorite band list- it sure is in my top 10, but has continued to create thought provoking lyrics, harsh beats and wicked music that has you begging for more! Though not an innovator to EBM/Industrial music, nolongerhuman has and is blowing the minds of many as well as their expectations; from raging shows that leave you pumped fool of energy and crazy screaming fans tugging at their hair.

Oculus: The New Face of Horror [FILM EDITORIAL]
Although it makes it’s big screen debut in 2014, I discovered the world of the deadly mirror through Mike Flanagan’s short film, Oculus: Chapter 3 – The Man with the Plan, when he submitted it to our sister filmmaking site, MicroFilmmaker Magazine, in 2006. A 30 minute film created in a single room with a single actor for $2,000 swept you into a mystical embrace of powerful storytelling and seriously thrilling scares. The short film got a 9.5 from the critic that saw it, while…

E3 2012 to 2013: A Dystopian Year in Gothic Gaming [EDITORIAL]
As the new DarkestGoth Gaming section gets into gear right before E3, I find myself thinking about the year in gaming. We’ve seen some amazing changes in the world of games with story and games that’ve managed to make you care when you shouldn’t! As we wait for more news on the next Fallout game, Gothic photographer and artist Kat Hood (of KJ Hood Photography) has successfully helmed the collaboration of a group of gothic models, photographers, effects makeup people, and props masters for the largest Fallout themed series of fan cosplay photoshoots in the game’s history.
