Theme: "Thriftcore fashion"

Thriftcore fashion is a style that embraces the aesthetics of thrift store finds, characterized by a mix of vintage and retro elements. It often includes oversized clothing, quirky patterns, and bold colors, reflecting a playful and eclectic approach to dressing. Key pieces might include baggy jeans, graphic tees, oversized jackets, and unique accessories like chunky jewelry or vintage bags. This fashion genre emphasizes sustainability by promoting secondhand shopping and a DIY approach to style, allowing individuals to express their creativity and personal identity through unique, one-of-a-kind outfits. Thriftcore often draws inspiration from various decades, making it a versatile and nostalgic fashion choice. For inspiration, search #UrbanSlam on Instagram or Thriftcore fashion on Pinterest. 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.  Additional wardrobe will be available on location for models to incorporate into their look by Curiosities Vintage & Oddities. We'll have a private space designated for models within the mall for changing and model's belongings. Please bring hangers for any extra items. Rebekah Blake will be offering makeup touchups and micro sessions during arrivals, first come-first serve. Check in, visit wardrobe, explore the space for inspiring portrait locations, get familiar with Nanlite lighting, and meet other creatives before introductions begin at 7pm. We'll have private access to Curiosities Vintage during the slam. Please consider early June 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 6:30pm, in time for lighting & gear demos. 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 Nanlite and Tamron gear (just for fun, slams are not competitions).  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. 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.
