There is so many photographers and models on tik tok now too, anyone not on it yet, I would definitely sign up. It's after becoming very popular for everything and mostly where I post, which is why not many posts on my insta or Facebook.

The team behind the MegaShoot went all out again to plan the event.Fantastic website, and booking system, usefull emails.Wonderull system that sends emails about upcoming shoots with information about the modelsphotographers.Great location for everyone to shoot and provide changing opportunities, as well as snacks. 1010

Positive Experience

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.

Suggestions of what or how to improve

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

I enjoyed this shoot greatly, the location was great and there was a great sense of friendship amongst all. Thank you.... Thank you for bringing some refreshments,,,,Great organisation of the event and meeting point was nicely centrally located.

Positive Experience

I enjoyed meeting the members of the group , great sense of camaraderie. Nice meeting John and Taz again....The meeting point was well chosen in close proximity to all the significant locations ... well done.

Negative Experience

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

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!

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

Positive Experience

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.

Another great Megashoot somewhat spoiled by the weather. Very well organised, but of course we had no control over the weather. A few models decided to call it a day when the weather got poor but well done to those who carried on.

Well done to those who turned up and worked under very poor conditions.

Negative Experience

Due to late cancellations, many photographers left without models to shoot

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.

Id like to apologise sincerely to one model for getting the times mixed up,I was booked with Andreea Cazacu at 5 and turned up at 6 . My apologies Andreea.

No a lot can be improved maybe have a few plaster, basic first aid some has a minor accident perhaps. I don't think this possible but I shot a few models not booked on my schedule and I am finding it difficult to track them too give them some images. Could there a work around , I d love to be able to end them a set of images from yesterday ...Thanks again AP 59

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Positive Experience

Everything.

Suggestions of what or how to improve

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.

Positive Experience

I forgot to buy batteries for my trigger and low and belold batteries were available. Thanks Martin for saving my blushes!

Negative Experience

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.
