I had the pleasure to be the Model Coordinator for New England Institute of Photography 2008 Session, which was held at Ocean Edge in Brewster. Many of the professional photographers in the region close down their studios, and go for a week to study with some of the top pros in the country. Since you spend over 40 hours with the instructors, it is equivalent to a college course, and people work towards gaining merits for their Masters of Photography degrees. It is also a great time to network, and share ideas with other folks in the field. The models came from clients and friends, and were even advertised for in Craigs List. If you are interested in being a model next year, let me know. If you are interested in attending the school, go to
www.NEIPP.com . I have made it for over twenty years, and wouldn't miss it.
On the last evening, there is a banquet dinner and the theme was The Great Gatsby. They hired a sixteen-piece big band, who happened to be Stage Door Canteen. My husband is the co-leader
of the band, and a jazz-guitarist. They had the place jumpin' & jivin'. They were such a hit, they have already hired them for next year.
