My first Megashoot experience and it was brilliant.The professional organisation, stunning location and cooperative weather created a welcoming and safe environment for a brilliant day of photography. I worked with 4 models who were both creative and supportive and had prepared for the shoots as we had been in contact over Instagram prior to the event. The breaks in between sessions gave me the opportunity to chat and network with other photographers and models and get a much needed breather. |

The whole experience was so positive and I loved the opportunity to watch the other photographers in action when I wasnt booked. Great networking opportunity. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

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. |

I always have and had an amazing experience with MegaShoot Also I made so good friends now from MegaShoot shoot community. It is so professionally ran it is incredible. I cannot imagine how much hard work the guys put in behind the scenes. They are that busy helping us on the day they don't even really get to shoot them self's. The MegaShoot team is professional, friendly It's just an incredible day. Also amazing opportunity to practice your skill set and watch others tackle the same obstacles you have. I cannot recommend Mega Shoot enough and thank the guys. This year I introduced 4 new models to MegaShoot and they all had an amazing time and thanked me for bringing them. The guys that run mega shoot, they should be professional event organizers. Thanks you very much guyO |

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. |
