Hi Everyone!

A few years ago I arranged a very special cruise event for models and photographers. We sailed from Miami to the Bahamas over a 3 night, 4 day period and had a very successful, wonderful event. Models and photographers came from the USA as well as Europe.

This year I am in the process of planning another cruise event in conjunction with Royal Caribbean, and I would like to know if you would have a preliminary interest in attending once the details are set.

We are looking to cruise out of Ft Lauderdale, FL on Sept 20th for a 5 Day, 4 Night Western Caribbean Cruise, encompassing Fort Lauderdale, FL; Key West, FL; Cozumel, Mexico; and then returning to Fort Lauderdale, FL. This affords you plenty of time to plan and save.

The pricing, based on double occupancy, including accommodations, all meals, room service, snacks, buffets, taxes, and all applicable fees, would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $575 total. There would only be an estimated $200 deposit to book your slot. Then, pay the balance at a later date.

Models and photographers would enjoy informal breakfasts together, days of shooting and sharing of ideas, sharing of images, formal dinners together, days at sea relaxing, tanning, and shooting on the cruise ship itself, and of course all of the partying you can handle.

Models and photographers would set up their own Model-4-Image agreements, but there will not be any charging for shooting or modeling. You are free to shoot with whomever you want, but we would all certainly try to work with as many of ourselves as possible, and we would collectively walk the port towns and cities so we can all shoot together in relatively close proximity to each other.

Sound great doesn’t it. I know it works. I’ve done this before.

Please drop me an e-mail and let me know if you’d be interested in more details in the very near future.

Thanks so much.

Dave,

Sounds great, anything that spreads the gospel of photography like this is well worth it. Perhaps we can work together if you'd like a "mentor" on this one (grin). I can talk to the folks at Hensel and Californnia Sunbounce for support too. Talk soon, on the way out the door, rg.

Sounds like a great idea to me as well.
Will there be some instruction as well for new photographers?

[DaveB]

Yes..there will be some instruction as well.

I'd be interested and I'm sure Kath would be interested in modeling if the need be there... Great idea!

[JasonPhillip]

Sounds like a great idea. I especially like the idea of instructors being available to act as guides. Look forward to hearing more info.
