Where Talent Speaks Louder Than Experience

Location - Lisbon Garden = Jardim Linha D´Água

• The event takes place from 10 AM to 5 PM with short breaks. See videos and photos of a smaller previous event at the bottom of the page.
• Apart from the 6 Professional Models (from this list), the remaining 14 Models are "new faces," recruited by Carlos Loff and announced up to 2 weeks before the event.
• The participant ratio is 2 Photographers per each Model, ensuring good logistics for shootings with time and personalization.
• Styling - Spring-Summer Short Dresses and Heels

How Do We Know Who and When to Photograph?

• A brief initial briefing will confirm the presence of all participants, explaining the general operation, locations, and some breaks for the Models.
• Models and Photographers will always be clearly identified, ensuring clarity on who can be photographed and who can photograph.
• A cheat sheet with key camera settings, lenses, approaches, and variables will be provided to support the technical aspects of the shootings.

Rules and Conditions

• Outside of the 6 Pro Models, the other 14 Beginner Models are not required to have professional experience but must be pre-approved by Carlos Loff to ensure a minimum physical profile and posing ability.
• Photographers have the unique opportunity to photograph 20 Models in one day, with time and personalization, paying only a symbolic fee to cover the Models' and organization/logistics costs by Carlos Loff.
• Beginner Models will receive €20 on the day to cover costs. If they show special talent, they may be invited to future professional workshops with proper remuneration (professionals receive full payment).
• The number of Models adjusts to registrations, maintaining a ratio of 2 Photographers per Model: 10 Models for 20 Photographers, 15 for 30, and up to 20 for 40.

• Rights: All participants (Models and Photographers) authorize the non-commercial publication of the event's results on any medium or platform.
• Exhibition: On a date to be announced, a major Exhibition will be held at LX Factory (New IRIS Space), inviting everyone to showcase their talents to numerous visitors.
