We are intending to secure a block booking of a photo studio on Sat 13th December to do some messy photosets. This leaves us scope to include 2 new fans who want to see some live messy photo shoots run by our professional photographer as well as take hold of a professional camera themselves and have a go at directing a model in a mini splosh scene. If you have a pro camera you can bring it or we can supply one. The compact automatic cameras will not work properly with the "off camera" lighting we use.
This proposed splosh photoshoot would suit fans who are interested in photography and sploshing but don't have the the equipment, experience or funds to set up such a photoshoot themselves. Full technical help and advice will be given to budding amateurs.
Since the collapse of TNMMC we have had interest from some of their female models and members who want to get involved with the club in shoots and our mini private events so we are opening our doors to a few new members.
You can message us by PM to show your interest and/or indicate which one of the meet ups you can attend to discuss this further. We won't however be able to answer lots of questions by PM etc as this then defeats the object of our growth through social face to face interaction and discussion.
The fee to attend this photoshoot will be passed on directly to the studio owner to cover hire so we will not be making any sort of profit. This is reflected in the price and its very good value. Please also note that this will be a photoshoot and not a session. We will be running mini sploshing events next year (we posted some pics of girls being gunged by members in the stocks in a recent post to give you some idea of what went on) so if members act professionally at the photoshoots its likely you will get invites to the private sploshing events we hold.
Q. Why do we need the extra membership?
A. We wouldn't if we remained doing our pro splosh shoots in cramped environments. The extra share of the studio costs obviously helps us progress into a larger less cramped professional environment with lots of facilities. As far as our mini events are concerned the extra membership alows us to book more models and extend the length of the events and include more messy games and audience participation.
Q. So whats the point of the organisers doing it if they don't make money at an event. They are giving up their time for no return thats just nuts?
A. The messy events will be set up to more or less break even. People get involved and give up their time because they are fans of sploshing and they want to get involved in live productions. We however do now intend to have a commercial wing of the operation to pay for the cost of upkeep of photographic equipment and the time and effort spent "post production" in editing stills and videos for a download store we will be sharing. Royalties from the download store will help us continue to knock out sets of pictures like Lucky Buckets. Some free sets will continue to be offered to Bill and Hayley to go on the Splosh FreeHouse but its up to them which ones they want to post.
Q. Will I get to put the pics I take on any website?
A. The pictures you take at one of our photoshoots will be for private use only. It may however be possible that Bill and Hayley could review some of the amateur sets of pics that are produced and say offer their favorite set a seat of honour in the FreeHouse as a prize. Something I can hopefully discuss with Bill over a Beer. We will hand you a CD of your work on the day and it will be up to you to edit and sort the pictures in your own time. We don't intend to host our own wam website so its great that Bill and Hayley have displayed our work on here.
Look forward to meeting some new potential members soon
