Finding Your Angle: Posing for Shoots and Selfies

FINDING YOUR ANGLE: POSING FOR SHOOTS AND SELFIES

Part Class, Part open Studio! Come explore Wicked Eden’s styled spaces, learn posing tips, and capture the cosplay or costume shots of your dreams!

This event will start with a 30 minute class where our instructor will share some tips on posing for, working the space for, and lighting your pictures/ selfies! The class is optional but encouraged!

Then we’ll allow for 2 hours of shooting time where attendees can utilize our set rooms and several other staged areas for taking their own photos and selfies.

Finding Your Angle is all about selfies and taking your own pictures. Because of this, we will not be allowing hired/personal photographers in the space. Please bring any cameras, tripods, ring lights, or other photography equipment for your own use! We will not be providing any cameras, external lights, or photographers.

WHO’S THIS EVENT FOR?

If you’re a cosplayer, a costumer, a Drag performer, a burlesque performer, a LARPer, someone looking to take a solo boudoir shoot, or even just a person who wants to take more diverse selfies, we have you covered at Finding Your Angle!
