This was a really fantastic day despite of weather and no show from many models. As usual, very well organised and I can see the efforts put in by organising this starting from getting the website ready to organising registration and badges, to snacks and water after a tiring shoot. There is so much work that happens behind the scenes that people don't see. So thank you for all of it. I always look forward to this event every year |

I know this is already being addressed but no show of models or last min cancellations. They will book you from the start and then last few days suddenly cancel without any notice or explaination, forget about apology. It makes life difficult to find someone else. My suggestion is when booking opens, anyone can book anyone if they are showing free. Models or photographers are then not allowed to cancel. Only if there is a genuine reason, they can request organisers to cancel it with adequate reasons and notice to other party. |

My first Megashoot, and I was very impressed by the level of organisation and the friendly positive atmosphere there.All went very smoothly and the location and weather helped too.Overall really enjoyed it. |

Better organised than some of the paid shoots, I have attended. |

Nothing at all really.Oh OK - if you insist - 4G5G reception wasn't great - |
|
| Suggestions of what or how to improve |
Can't think of anything really.I suppose I should say that I had no issues with models accepting or rejecting shoots in a reasonable time. However, I know from chatting on the day, that some others had slightly unreasonable delays probably applies vice-versa too. |

Despite the weather all in attendance were in good spirits and everyone seemed to get something from the day out at the beach. |
|
| Negative Experience |
NO SHOWS !! Last Minute Refusal of Shoots in the days Hours leading up to the event, and as can be seen most had no intention of turning up on the day. |
|
| Suggestions of what or how to improve |
The NO Shows and Last Minute cancellation of bookings is a little frustrating to say the least. Perhaps a little monetary deposit or a small fee for taking part might force people to think twice before making themselves available for events. |

I really enjoyed this one, not even 1 complaint , no injuries , no issues , people have settled well into the format and shoots and generally done with enough time to return to base and change for the next shoot, so pretty much everything went well and as planned and then we had the good weather once again so win win ! |

Well the walk to the pointwith an overloaded trolley,didn't help as I had an injured foot I guess I will need to get fitter for the next one. However it balanced out, uphill on the way up to the meeting point but downhill on the way to the carpark on the way home,,, not to be taken as a really negative point |

A Glorious Day at the MegaShoot Forest Shoot 2024The MegaShoot event this year was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to Taz and his phenomenal team! Once again, they pulled off an incredible gathering that brought together a vibrant mix of talented photographers and stunning models, both familiar faces and fresh talent.The location was perfect a picturesque setting that provided endless opportunities for creativity. The weather couldn't have been better it was as if the sun itself was cheering us on, casting the ideal lighting for our shots. The scenery? Absolutely breathtaking! Every corner of the venue offered a unique backdrop, making it an ideal playground for our photographic adventures.It was exhilarating to see so many new faces on both sides of the lens. The energy was infectious as photographers and models mingled, collaborated, and created magic together. The camaraderie and mutual support were heartwarming, and it was clear that everyone was having a fantastic time.Taz and his team deserve a standing ovation for their impeccable organization and attention to detail. They ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to focus on what we love doing best capturing and creating beautiful moments.Here's to another successful MegaShoot event and to many more in the future! Cheers to the wonderful community that makes these gatherings so special. Can't wait for the next one! |

That is a testament to how well it is thought of and ran Taz and his team Should become professional event organizers. I cannot recommend highly enough how much fun the day are.

Overall it was an absolutely fantastic day out. I had a blast, the vibes were great, all my photographers were phenomenal and I'm so glad i came out. It was lovely getting to meet new people, and i cannot praise the organisers enough for all the work they put into these events. |
|
| Positive Experience |
All my photographers were super-lovely, and we all had a great time. I loved that the organisers set up the site to e-mail all users about timing and which person they were shooting with next. The organisers were so lovely and it's so generous of them to provide refreshments and snacks for attendees. |
|
| Negative Experience |
One thing I want to point out was that there were several male photographers who did not follow protocol snapping photos or filming me and other models without our consent while we were shooting with our allotted photographers. Neither I nor the photographer should have to stop what we're doing to tell an industry peer to behave like a professional. |
|
| Suggestions of what or how to improve |
I understand that this may not be possible, but if there could be some sort of monitoring or signaling system to flag these types of photographers or models who take footage of others without consent. It should be marked on their profiles that they've displayed this kind of unprofessional behavior, as it is a violation, and I'd like to be able to avoid or even black-list them if it's persistent behaviour. Another item I'd suggest is a station for models and photographers who've had cancellations where they can try to match up with someone in their allotted free time. I wasn't impacted by No-Shows, but I'd imagine it would be a great relief to those who've been let down to still get to produce work on the day. |

Gave negative feedback with my name about a model that did not show up. The model retaliated by claimng that I was rude and creepy in the messages. Happy to share the messages that I had with her. 1 single message where i said i was looking forwards to work with her, and share a moodboard. |
