How Do We Know Who and When to Photograph?
A brief initial briefing will confirm the presence of all participants, explaining the general operation, locations, and some breaks for the Models.
Models and Photographers will always be clearly identified, ensuring clarity on who can be photographed and who can photograph.
A cheat sheet with key camera settings, lenses, approaches, and variables will be provided to support the technical aspects of the shootings.
Rules and Conditions
Outside of the 6 Pro Models, the other 14 Beginner Models are not required to have professional experience but must be pre-approved by Carlos Loff to ensure a minimum physical profile and posing ability.
Photographers have the unique opportunity to photograph 20 Models in one day, with time and personalization, paying only a symbolic fee to cover the Models' and organization/logistics costs by Carlos Loff.
Beginner Models will receive €20 on the day to cover costs. If they show special talent, they may be invited to future professional workshops with proper remuneration (professionals receive full payment).
The number of Models adjusts to registrations, maintaining a ratio of 2 Photographers per Model: 10 Models for 20 Photographers, 15 for 30, and up to 20 for 40.

Exhibition: On a date to be announced, a major Exhibition will be held at LX Factory (New IRIS Space), inviting everyone to showcase their talents to numerous visitors.
Sponsor: This event does not depend on sponsorships but may include one exclusive sponsor (to be defined). The sponsor may publicize the resulting images, crediting the authors and avoiding commercialization.
