Theme: 1980's Athleisure

The word ‘athleisure’ is a combination of athletic and leisure. Athleisure includes apparel designed for workouts and other athletic activities, but are not limited to being worn at the gym or while exercising. Athleisure wear can be rocked at casual social events and even at the workplace (track suits, yoga pants, sneakers, down puffies, sport caps, jerseys, ect.). 1980's athleisure was an explosion of color, patterns, and new technology. Iconic athleisure of the 80's include Addidas track suits, neon Lycra spandex, Walkman cassette players, sweat bands, windbreakers, slouchy sweatshirts, starter jackets, Zubaz pants, legwarmers, and high-top sneakers.  In the 1980's, Mike Tyson destroyed Michael Spinks in 91 seconds, USA hockey defeated the Soviet Union, Magic competed against Bird, the Chicago Bears danced the Super Bowl shuffle, and Diego Maradona touched the Hand of God. 

Portrait slams are body positive events that celebrate style and creativity. Let us know if you have questions about our theme and, as always, don't be afraid to get weird.

Models:

Please arrive dressed in theme and ready to shoot. A 1980's streetwear inspired wardrobe will be provided on location by local designers Jabali Fashions for models to incorporate into their look, beginning at 5pm - please don't miss this! A prize will be awarded to the model who rocks Jabali Fashions' wardrobe with the most creativity and style. Bring base neutrals you're confident in, and comfortable shoes to take full advantage of the large space. Please be prepared to work with many different photographers in quick 10 minute sessions.

Photographers:

We appreciate it when photographers dress in sync with the vibe and rock the theme, but they aren't required to. Photographers should wear comfortable shoes and arrive with their camera ready to shoot.  Please try to arrive by 5:30pm. After checking in, browse Mildford Photo's selection of lighting equipment and Tamron's selection of lenses available for use on location. Milford Photo will be giving a prize away at the end to the photographer who gets most creative with equipment.  Explore the space for inspiring portrait locations, take a few test shots, and chat with fellow creatives. Introductions start at 6pm. We begin each slam by pairing everyone up. Please be prepared to work with many different models in quick 10 minute sessions. Videography, off camera flash, and film photography are welcome but please check in with us before flying a drone. Photography assistants are required to purchase a general ticket.
