A BEAUTIFUL OUTDOOR LOCATION

The event will be held at a private, outdoor venue in Banks, Oregon. We chose this venue for many reasons including its beauty, size, lighting, the MANY areas & options available to shoot at,  and the ability to keep everyone safe and follow social distancing guidelines. Here are some highlights about the location:
• This is a private location and the event will not be open to the public.
• Banks Oregon is about 12 miles North-West of Hillsboro off of Hwy 26.
• We will follow the time schedule below in order to stagger attendees.
• We will keep social distancing in place. (see below)
• Models & photographers only. No guests allowed.

CHOOSE AN AM OR PM SESSION

We will have two sessions; an AM and a PM Session. Each session will have a total of four models. Each model will shoot with one of each, of the three colors; RED / WHITE / BLUE. Each colored smoke bomb will last for approximately 90 seconds. We will have up to three photographers all shooting at the same time in order to maximize those 90 seconds. Purchase your ticket for either:

AM SESSION – For the morning session there will be two groups; Group A, and Group B. Each group will be one hour long and have two models in each group. Please note your “Check-In-Time for whatever ticket you purchase. – DO NOT BE LATE!

PM SESSION – For the afternoon session there will be two groups; Group C, and Group D. Each group will be one hour long and have two models in each group. Please note your “Check-In-Time for whatever ticket you purchase. – DO NOT BE LATE!

MODELS – You will need to be ready to go, including hair, makeup, and any wardrobe when you arrive. You will only have 30 min to check-in, and to finalize any last min touch-ups. We will start with a short, 10min instruction on how to handle the smoke grenade(s) and how to move for maximum benefit. If you are late, you will miss the instructions; So don’t be late!

TICKET SALES WILL CLOSE ON JUNE 12th

NOTE: we will open sales for the AM Sessions first; groups A & B. Once those are sold out we will open up Session C and D.

 

 

How Does Vision Makers PDX Keep Me Safe?

As we progress into 2021, many areas of society are starting to open back up. We want to keep everyone safe so social distancing will be in place for all aspects of our event. We chose this outdoor venue so it would be much easier for everyone to keep their distance. We believe everyone has a right to their own level of protection, but this event has min guidelines. As such there are a few rules for this event:

• FACE MASKS ARE REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES – Unless you are a model in front of the camera and being actively photographed you must wear your mask (no exceptions!)
• Keep social distancing in place at a level you and the photographer agree on BEFOREHAND.
• Models will need to do their own hair & makeup.
• NO SHARING of makeup, tools, equipment clothes, drinks, food, etc. (bring what you need, don’t share)
• We will limit the number of participants to maximize social distancing.
• Models & photographers only. No guests allowed. Paid attendees & staff only.
• Plan ahead – bring what you need for the event. Don’t assume someone else will be providing it for you.
• Both the model and the photographer must be wearing a facemask when viewing images from the back of a camera. 
• Besides being required to sign a model release, there will be a COVID waiver for you to sign.
• We have a touchless thermometer and will use it during the check-in process to confirm your temperature is normal. 
• Please understand that Social Distancing rules are fluid, and as such, rules may change. We will follow the current rules in place for the county, at the time the event happens.

Anybody found to be non-compliant with the above, will not be allowed to attend any future Vision Maker Events.

BEFORE YOU PURCHASE…

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING – The final outcome of your images are dependent on many factors. Colored smoke can be very difficult to work with. Wind and humidity will drastically change how the smoke behaves (for better or worse). Variables include; how fast the model and smoke moves, the pose,  blinks, which way the wind changes; It all happens in 90 seconds! Each camera may capture LOTS of great shots, or maybe just a handful of good images. As such, for this shoot, we can not guarantee the number of images you will come out with in the end. But we have done everything possible to maximize the possibility of getting the most out of this shoot.

Vision Makers can not be held responsible for any changes due to weather conditions. In the event we cancel the event due to truly adverse conditions, we will reschedule to an alternate date, or monies paid will be refunded; This will be at our discretion.

When we order the smoke grenades if a color is out of stock we reserve the right to substitute a different color. We have no control over the manufacture’s stock on hand. 

Notwithstanding, we will do everything we can to ensure, in the end, you get some wonderful, one-of-a-kind shots. But the reality is it will come down to weather and luck. If you understand all this, and you are okay with it, we invite you to purchase a ticket and we promise to work with you to make your Colored Smoke Bomb Photoshoot the best it possibly can be.
