Time: 9am til 7 pm
Date: Friday 9th May to Sunday 11th May
Venue: Studland Bay House BH19 3AQ
Once again I have booked Studland Bay House, a 19th C Manor House set in about 30 acres of landscaped grounds fronting the famous Studland Beach, Purbeck, Dorset at the start of the 'Jurassic Coast' World Heritage site.
The House has been completely renovated and works have recently been completed, yet retains many of its original features including an oak panelled hall and staircase purloined from Netley Abbey, there are 8 double bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, Hall, 2 landings, 3 reception rooms and the cricket pavilion for indoor shoots. This allows 17 distinct shooting areas whatever the weather.If the weather is fine there are balconies, terraces, gorgeous gardens overlooking the sea and glades, woods, streams and many features in the gardens as well as the beach.
Therefore I plan on no more than 12 photographers, each with an allowance of 2 models to share this wonderful venue for each day.
Make-Up-Artists, Stylists and Hairdressers are invited to attend on the basis that they 'set up shop' themselves and sell their services in whatever way they choose. They should register their interest and I will decide who attends.
The purpose of the day is to have a safe and enjoyable experience in beautiful surroundings with like-minded persons creating the best quality photographs we are capable of.
These occasions are an excellent networking opportunity.
For those of you who have never attended a Studland Shoot before a few tips and pointers:
Bournemouth and Poole have thousands of hotel beds, some book both nights - Friday and Saturday, some book only 1, its up to you - feel free to use this thread to find others looking for rooms, I can make notes next to your names on the front page if it helps.
Everyone has to be nice.
Models should bring as much as they can carry. If they have specific ideas they want to try to shoot then collaboration and swapping has always been a large part of the days fun but agreement and courtesy should be observed as much as possible.

Please register your interest below. I'll make a list of those interested and post the successful parties in a couple of weeks or so. Don't forget to indicate which day you are interested in. Previously its been a bit '1st come - 1st served' and its been pointed out that thats a bit unfair to those that dont log in so frequently, so we'll try it this way this time.
Cost - £120 per day per photographer
How about........Whole weekend! Arrive Friday after lunch - anytime, stay Friday and Saturday nights - shoot as much and as long as you like til finish on Sunday evening about 7pm. Price is £300 for photographers, additional rooms are £30 per night, there are only double beds. Rooms must be vacated by 8 to allow linen change and tidy before others shoot from 9. Breakfast of hot croissants and bacon rolls. Not all rooms will be available so places are limited.
rules
I like to keep rules to a minimum. Please read them carefully before asking questions.
1. Photographers please register your interest. Both experienced and beginner photographers are invited to apply. Only post your interest on this forum - I will not be able to reply to personal mails - it takes too long!
2. I choose which photographers get to go, I'll post the list of successful applicants in a couple of weeks
3. Each successful photographer may bring 2 models. It is entirely up to you who these models are and how you renumerate them. There will be no vetting of models sponsored by photographers.
4. Make up artists are invited to apply to attend on the basis that you 'set up shop' and sell your skills. You will set your own tariffs.
5. Due to a few flakes on previous shoots payment must be received by the 25th April to secure a place. Anyone who has not placed a payment by this date will unfortunately lose their place and it will be re-offered.
6. Models are invited to express an interest on this thread, I will place all names on a list - this may assist photographers in choosing who they 'sponsor'. Please do not mail me directly, I cannot respond - it will take too long.
7. Rooms will not be allocated - I expect you to behave with politeness and consideration, not to 'hog' the best rooms and to make every effort to change location at least 3 times during the day to allow others access.
8. Try not to leave all your gear in a good room if you are going to wander off down the beach for the rest of the day
9. Photographers 'sponsored' models - whether TF* or paid, the agreements you have with your model(s) are your own affairs.
10. Boorish, ill-mannered, argumentative or pushy people are not welcome and will be asked to leave with no hope of a refund.
11. Nudity - nudity is permitted in all areas of the house and grounds, except where it may be seen by others - ie, if there are people in the Huff Hauses I would ask that nudity is avoided directly in front of them - otherwise its fine and nudity is also permitted on the beach past the sign saying 'You may see nudists after this point', however, photography may be frowned upon in such a sensitive area and caution is strongly advised. I know this is pretty obvious - but after recent debacles at other venues it seems that common sense and respect cannot be assumed.
12. Successful applicants can form a 'team' as follows, including themselves: 1 photographer, 2 models and an assistant/stylist/mua
The cost will be £120 each of the 12 places per day or £300 for the weekend
