Shootout & Workshop
For Photographers
A model contest + Shootout + Workshop
The Rundown
When planning the Next: Senior Model Summit, our goal was to create something that was a mix between an experience for your clients while incorporating education and event of the year for photographers like you.
At Next, we will kick off the event with a shootout featuring the 10 winning models from throughout the country for you to photograph. They will be fully styled with the lead photographers showing you how they pose, light and interact with the models during a hands-on learning experience.
The second day we will head into the classroom for a full schedule of teaching you the topics that you want to learn and add to your business. This will be an all day intensive for all things senior photography like model teams, styling, marketing & branding, senior destinations and more.
This is going to be the event of the year and something you don't want to miss!
November 2nd - Day ONe
The Workshop
Hosted by Tara Rochelle, Sean Brown & Caroline of CG3 Photography, the workshop portion will take place the day after the shootout portion. We wanted to make this a full, comprehensive learning experience and give you and your business the tools to succeed.
Here you'll be able to learn in a classroom setting and learn what we've done in our businesses to create a sought after experience for our clients and be the go-to photographers in our area.
This will be an all-day intensive going from 9am-7:30pm covering topics like senior destinations, senior rep programs, editorial styling, marketing & branding, senior films. We will wrap up with an informal Q&A after dinner on your own.
The Shootout
The Shootout
NOVember 3rd - Day 2
For the shootout, we will be limiting this to only 30 photographers so that shooting groups will be 3:1 ratio of photographers to models. This will make sure that you are able to work with the models individually and get shots that you can't wait to throw into your portfolio! This will take place in an amazing Los Angeles location and will make you have major FOMO if you're not there.
The shootout will run from 1PM - 5PM ensuring that you have more than enough time to capture images that you'll love. As with any shootout hosted by us, we will be hands on to answer questions, show you how we pose, shoot and style and be available for questions.

A lot of the senior industry is the same, but by learning from these two, you're going to be able to apply outside the industry techniques to your images to set yourself far apart from what every other senior photographer is already doing!!!

When & Where
Pack your bags... We're hosting Next: Senior Model Summit in the City of Angels - Los Angeles! We chose LA because of some amazing locations that you truly can't get anywhere else. Plus, who doesn't want to bring their models to the land of Hollywood?!
The Workshop portion will be taking place on Saturday November 2nd, 2019 and the Shootout portion of Next will be taking place on Sunday November 3rd, 2019.
We are also opening up an all-day Intensive on Monday November 4th with world renowned retoucher Pratik Naik and fashion & beauty photography Tina Eisen! Here they will teach you about OUTSIDE the senior industry techniques to bring a new edge to your photography skillset!
For travel, we recommend flying into Bob Hope Airport (BUR) or Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Next will be taking place in Santa Clarita, CA, which is about 45 minutes north of Los Angeles. Bob Hope Airport will be closer to where you will be shooting & learning so this is our recommended airport. You we will want to rent a car and will set up a Facebook group for attendees to coordinate hotel and rental car accommodations. We will also have a list of recommended places to stay and eat.
