Shootout & Workshop
For Photographers
A model contest + Shootout + Workshop
The Rundown
When planning the Next: Senior Model Summit, our goal was to create something that was a mix between an experience for your clients while incorporating education and event of the year for photographers like you.
At Next, we will kick off the event with a shootout featuring the 10 winning models from throughout the country for you to photograph. They will be fully styled with the lead photographers showing you how they pose, light and interact with the models during a hands-on learning experience.
The second day we will head into the classroom for a full schedule of teaching you the topics that you want to learn and add to your business. This will be an all day intensive for all things senior photography like model teams, styling, marketing & branding, senior destinations and more.
This is going to be the event of the year and something you don't want to miss!

Photographers! This part is for you!
If you are wanting to build your portfolio, learn exactly how to pose and direct your clients, or just to shoot gorgeous models in an unbelievable setting, you’re going to want to be a part of this epic shootout!
The 10 top winning models are going to be styled head to toe with killer, cutting edge, incredible outfits styled by Tara Rochelle and Caroline of CG3 - both of whom are known for their amazing fashion sense when it comes to their clients and models! You’re going to have the opportunity to photograph 10 incredible teens & seniors chosen by all of America! Not only that but you’re going to be able to photograph them and locations you would not be able to find or have access to anywhere else!
But coming to just a shoot out is simply not enough.While you’re in Los Angeles you have the option to add on extra days of learning and education. Day ONE will be dedicated to intensive learning from the NEXT leaders Caroline, Sean, and Tara! These topics will include how to run a successful model program (ones that have clients are wanting to sign up for years and advance), how to incorporate incredible styling with your clients, and ideas for marketing year-round plus many more!
Nowhere else can you gain hands on education that is jam packed with all the tools you need to elevate your photography, business, and make you the in demand photographer in your area.

NOVember 3rd - Day 2
For the shootout, we will be limiting this to only 30 photographers so that shooting groups will be 3:1 ratio of photographers to models. This will make sure that you are able to work with the models individually and get shots that you can't wait to throw into your portfolio! This will take place in an amazing Los Angeles location and will make you have major FOMO if you're not there.
The shootout will run from 1PM - 5PM ensuring that you have more than enough time to capture images that you'll love. As with any shootout hosted by us, we will be hands on to answer questions, show you how we pose, shoot and style and be available for questions.

Location, dates and more
When & Where
Pack your bags... We're hosting Next: Senior Model Summit in the City of Angels - Los Angeles! We chose LA because of some amazing locations that you truly can't get anywhere else. Plus, who doesn't want to bring their models to the land of Hollywood?!
The Shootout portion of Next will be taking place on Saturday November 2nd, 2019 and the Workshop portion will be taking place on Sunday November 3rd, 2019.
For travel, we recommend flying into Bob Hope Airport (BUR) or Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Next will be taking place in Santa Clarita, CA, which is about 45 minutes north of Los Angeles. Bob Hope Airport will be closer to where you will be shooting & learning so this is our recommended airport. You we will want to rent a car and will set up a Facebook group for attendees to coordinate hotel and rental car accommodations. We will also have a list of recommended places to stay and eat.
