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. |

Fantastic event with lots of creative minds and individuals. Loved how open models were to ideas. High level of preparedness from photographers.Weather was not on our side, but this is Ireland. |
|
Positive Experience |
Very little papparazi mentality. People stuck with their models to create a style, little to no over the shoulder shooting. Fantastic website and functionality |
|
Negative Experience |
Gave negative feedback with my name about a model that did not show up. The model retaliated by claimng that I was rude and creepy in the messages. Happy to share the messages that I had with her. 1 single message where i said i was looking forwards to work with her, and share a moodboard. |

Less emails. Exlude people that dont show up for a certain time.Tent area for gear and people when it rains.Auto cancel bookins requests that were not approved within 48 hours.No anonymous feedback. More frequent events. |

A Glorious Day at the MegaShoot Forest Shoot 2024The MegaShoot event this year was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to Taz and his phenomenal team! Once again, they pulled off an incredible gathering that brought together a vibrant mix of talented photographers and stunning models, both familiar faces and fresh talent.The location was perfect a picturesque setting that provided endless opportunities for creativity. The weather couldn't have been better it was as if the sun itself was cheering us on, casting the ideal lighting for our shots. The scenery? Absolutely breathtaking! Every corner of the venue offered a unique backdrop, making it an ideal playground for our photographic adventures.It was exhilarating to see so many new faces on both sides of the lens. The energy was infectious as photographers and models mingled, collaborated, and created magic together. The camaraderie and mutual support were heartwarming, and it was clear that everyone was having a fantastic time.Taz and his team deserve a standing ovation for their impeccable organization and attention to detail. They ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to focus on what we love doing best capturing and creating beautiful moments.Here's to another successful MegaShoot event and to many more in the future! Cheers to the wonderful community that makes these gatherings so special. Can't wait for the next one! |

I really enjoyed the shoot. I thought the organisation was excellent. There was a great vibe there. There was. a great sense of community also. Some of my models didn't turn up and some of the other photographers and models were happy to leave me in to shoot for a few minutes with them. Thank you to those kind generous souls. |
|
Positive Experience |
I genuinely appreciated the assistance, the generosity of everyone, even having a little bit of food was great there. I thought the setting was good also. Id be happy to help out too if need be going forward. The models and the photographers were grate too work with and everyone was very approachable, the conditions were difficult at times and large stand s and flashes were being challenged by the elements, help was always on hand Thank you. |

His was my first time attending, and overall, I really enjoyed the event it was well organised and ran smoothly. I had booked four shoots, but only three ended up happening as one of the models had to leave due to the rain. They did let me know, so I completely understand and dont hold that against them. I do wish I had booked more sessions in advance, as once I walked around to see if I could fill the gap, I found that there were mostly photographers waiting and very few models available for ad-hoc shoots. Despite that, it was a great experience and a fantastic concept. Looking forward to the next one Ill definitely plan ahead better next time |

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. |

Overall it was an absolutely fantastic day out. I had a blast, the vibes were great, all my photographers were phenomenal and I'm so glad i came out. It was lovely getting to meet new people, and i cannot praise the organisers enough for all the work they put into these events. |
|
Positive Experience |
All my photographers were super-lovely, and we all had a great time. I loved that the organisers set up the site to e-mail all users about timing and which person they were shooting with next. The organisers were so lovely and it's so generous of them to provide refreshments and snacks for attendees. |
|
Negative Experience |
One thing I want to point out was that there were several male photographers who did not follow protocol snapping photos or filming me and other models without our consent while we were shooting with our allotted photographers. Neither I nor the photographer should have to stop what we're doing to tell an industry peer to behave like a professional. |
|
Suggestions of what or how to improve |
I understand that this may not be possible, but if there could be some sort of monitoring or signaling system to flag these types of photographers or models who take footage of others without consent. It should be marked on their profiles that they've displayed this kind of unprofessional behavior, as it is a violation, and I'd like to be able to avoid or even black-list them if it's persistent behaviour. Another item I'd suggest is a station for models and photographers who've had cancellations where they can try to match up with someone in their allotted free time. I wasn't impacted by No-Shows, but I'd imagine it would be a great relief to those who've been let down to still get to produce work on the day. |

The website was a little tempermental for me I raise my hands it could in part be me. But I would get notification emails from the system and when I went on the site I couldn't see someones message or the change that the email stated. It also will not allow me to make changes to my profile, when I save it reverts to what it was previously. It is only a small thing because over all the experience was amazing. |

Overall Feedback |
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. |
