What a day! Fabulous day in Donadea and everything went so smooth and without any visible issues, at least to this photographer. All the models I had booked arrived and I had 7 shoots, all wonderful. Brilliant location and now 950 images to review. |

Another Great Megashoot. Well Organised. Looking forward to the next one. |

Despite the weather all in attendance were in good spirits and everyone seemed to get something from the day out at the beach. |

| Negative Experience |
NO SHOWS !! Last Minute Refusal of Shoots in the days Hours leading up to the event, and as can be seen most had no intention of turning up on the day. |
|
| Suggestions of what or how to improve |
The NO Shows and Last Minute cancellation of bookings is a little frustrating to say the least. Perhaps a little monetary deposit or a small fee for taking part might force people to think twice before making themselves available for events. |

Recalling my first time at Bull Island beach a few years ago, I can't forget how amazing it was. When I returned for the latest event, I was genuinely happy to see how much the Megashoot community has grown. It's nice to see more models and photographers getting involved. This event is just a lot of fun, with all these fantastic people working together to capture great photos and have a good time. |

Well the walk to the pointwith an overloaded trolley,didn't help as I had an injured foot I guess I will need to get fitter for the next one. However it balanced out, uphill on the way up to the meeting point but downhill on the way to the carpark on the way home,,, not to be taken as a really negative point |

Megashoot Madness What a Day!What a fantastic day at the Megashoot! New faces, familiar legendsboth behind and in front of the camera, brought serious creative energy. The location was awesome, the vibes were immaculate, and the rain actually behaved were still not over that miracle.Huge shoutout to Taz and his powerhouse team for pulling it all together like pros. Big thanks to DoransPhoto for keeping us fueled and happy with all the fruits and snacks. youre the real MVP.Everyone brought their A-game, their wild ideas, and their best angles. Cant wait for the next onesame time, same vibes, and hopefully the same well-behaved weather! |

For those epic treks from the car park to the location a.k.a. the unexpected cardio session, maybe throw in some cheeky direction signs like This way to the megashoot 5 min walk, promise no uphill battlesThat way, people wont end up starring in their own lost-in-the-woods documentary. |

This was a really fantastic day despite of weather and no show from many models. As usual, very well organised and I can see the efforts put in by organising this starting from getting the website ready to organising registration and badges, to snacks and water after a tiring shoot. There is so much work that happens behind the scenes that people don't see. So thank you for all of it. I always look forward to this event every year |

I know this is already being addressed but no show of models or last min cancellations. They will book you from the start and then last few days suddenly cancel without any notice or explaination, forget about apology. It makes life difficult to find someone else. My suggestion is when booking opens, anyone can book anyone if they are showing free. Models or photographers are then not allowed to cancel. Only if there is a genuine reason, they can request organisers to cancel it with adequate reasons and notice to other party. |

That is a testament to how well it is thought of and ran Taz and his team Should become professional event organizers. I cannot recommend highly enough how much fun the day are.

Meeting photographers and just having a laugh while waiting for the next time slot. I had 5 empty slots on the day but didnt get bored because there were plenty of interesting people to talk to.Clear and precice communication arround anything and all related to the event. |
|
| Negative Experience |
The only negative thing for these events are the no shows. Life happens and things change, we all understand that some cancellation can occur. However the no show rate for the last event was bad. I alone had 3 No Shows in a row. 3 Models that did not even bother to cancel beforehand, or send me a single message to let me know. This behaviour would destroy a professional reputation. |

Exclude people who do not show up models and photographers and enforce a participation deposit that is voided if someone does not show up. |

Mega Shoot is an amazing day. Two people who come regularly, it's like a family. My thanks to the organisational team, they are amazing. It is so well run, it's quite incredible. I have met new people in my life who have become friends. True. Megashoes. It is amazing opportunity to meet and network with people of the same interest? It's also very interesting to watch other photographers work. And the way they handle the shoot. I would like to thank the guys again for organising. It came out of work they put in is quite incredible. People should really appreciate this. Between the websites. The organisation just blows my mind. Getting emails. When you're next shoots on, what are your models registered in or not? There's nothing more you can ask her. I think they even have a deal with the weather gods of Ireland. |

As others have already said.... Models cancelling bookings late or pulling out of the entire event without any communication feels very disrespectful. There may be genuine reasons for cancelling but I don't think it is unreasonable to expect a short message or apology. In contrast, a very small number of models who cancelled did contact me and we have already arranged to shoot together soon, but the majority said nothing. |
