Sydney MoA: Nov 22nd Meetup / IG Grid PhotoShoot!

Gentlemen, let’s give this another whirl! Anyone in the vicinity of Sydney who’s working on their Instagram is welcome to come along and get/give some help (though please RSVP so I can book a table)!

Just to be clear: This is NOT a paid or a professional shoot; just some Men of Action getting together to help each other get (or practice getting) grid-worthy photos.

The aim: Shots of each of us and groups of us in the following formats

Lifestyle: Full-body Solo shots -
◦ in high-status / glamorous locations
◦ that comply with the Rule of Thirds (so activate your camera’s grid and level features)
Candid: “in media res” shots of 2+ folks working on something or on the move

REMINDER: Rather than being creative/innovative, the objective is simply to replicate what has already worked for others; if you haven't already, check out the recommended IG profiles of MoA graduates and find/save shots you like.

The plan:

Meet for lunch at 1PM at City Extra (1-2 minutes’ walk from Circular Quay train and light rail stations)
Chat and network; find out who we are and maybe how we can help each other ongoing
After 2PM; start scouting locations for the 3-6PM late afternoon/Magic Hour window
3PM: Commence with the photos until the sun goes down!

Locations within walking distance:

Sydney Opera House / Bennelong Point
Barangaroo (a longer walk)
Classy pubs:
◦ The Hero of Waterloo (Lower Fort St)
◦ Harbour View Hotel (rooftop bar)
◦ Glenmore Hotel (rooftop bar)
◦ The Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel
5-star hotels (for lobby / bar shots):
◦ Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay
◦ Shangri-La Sydney
◦ Capella Sydney
◦ The Langham
◦ Crown Sydney (Barangaroo)

Prepare/bring:

A set of shots from the list of IG Profile Inspiration (in the Off-Market Dating course) that you want to replicate. If you feel stuck, some Aus profiles with solid Sydney shots include:
◦ https://www.instagram.com/trevor_low
◦ https://www.instagram.com/xenophondos
◦ https://www.instagram.com/fixyourig
Items:
◦ Your phone or camera.
◦ At least one change of clothes (basically so you can mix outfit between shots).
◦ At least one prop (laptop, phone, etc.)

So paging
