Theme: Halloween Haunt - "Coven" inspired fashion

"Coven" fashion draws inspiration from both traditional and modern witch and gothic fashion. Consider: flowing black fabrics, velvet capes, wide-brimmed hats, corsets, lace gloves, and layered skirts. Moonstone jewelry, pentagram motifs, antique brooches, and dramatic chokers. Rich mystical fabrics like tulle, leather, satin, and lace. Dark lips, smoky eyes, and ethereal highlighter. Crystal balls, caldrons & vintage brooms...

To see past examples of our Haunt Slams on Instagram, search #HauntSlam. Please remember: we celebrate diversity, body positivity, self-expression and creativity. Incorporate your own unique style into your look, let us know if you have any questions, and don't be afraid to get weird.

Models:

Please arrive dressed in your unique interpretation of the theme and be ready to shoot.  We'll have a private space designated for models within the mall for changing and model's belongings. Lanyap Vintage will have additional wardrobe available onsite for models to incorporate into their look, beginning at 3pm. Please bring hangers for extra clothing items brought to the slam. MUA Rebekah Blake will be offering micro sessions and touch-ups during arrivals, first-come-first-serve. Check in, explore the space for inspiring portrait locations, get familiar with Nanlite lighting, and meet other creatives before introductions begin at 6pm. We'll have private access to Urbanite PDX during the slam. Please consider October weather and be prepared to work with many different photographers in quick 10 minute sessions.

Photographers:

We appreciate it when photographers & videographers 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 3:30pm, in time for a lighting demo. After checking in, browse Tamron's lenses and Nanlite lighting, available to borrow on location. Pro Photo Supply will be available to assist with gear. Prizes will be given away at the end to the participants who get most creative and engaging with vendor gear (just for fun - shooting with gear on-site is optional, slams are not competitions).  Explore the space for inspiring portrait locations, take a few test shots and chat with fellow creatives. Introductions start at 4pm. We begin each slam by pairing everyone up. Please be prepared to work with many different models in quick 10 minute sessions. Personal lighting and film photography are welcome but please tread lightly and check in with us before flying a drone. Photography assistants are required to purchase a general ticket.
