Fantastic event with lots of creative minds and individuals. Loved how open models were to ideas. High level of preparedness from photographers.Weather was not on our side, but this is Ireland.

Positive Experience

Very little papparazi mentality. People stuck with their models to create a style, little to no over the shoulder shooting. Fantastic website and functionality

Negative Experience

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.

Suggestions of what or how to improve

Less emails. Exlude people that dont show up for a certain time.Tent area for gear and people when it rains.Auto cancel bookins requests that were not approved within 48 hours.No anonymous feedback. More frequent events.

Another very well organised group shoot in a great location. These events don't happen by themselves so huge gratitude to the Megashoot team for the effort they put in to make it work.

Positive Experience

I forgot to buy batteries for my trigger and low and belold batteries were available. Thanks Martin for saving my blushes!

Negative Experience

As others have already said.... Models cancelling bookings late or pulling out of the entire event without any communication feels very disrespectful. There may be genuine reasons for cancelling but I don't think it is unreasonable to expect a short message or apology. In contrast, a very small number of models who cancelled did contact me and we have already arranged to shoot together soon, but the majority said nothing.

The event was so well run there is nothing I would want change.

I always have and had an amazing experience with MegaShoot Also I made so good friends now from MegaShoot shoot community. It is so professionally ran it is incredible. I cannot imagine how much hard work the guys put in behind the scenes. They are that busy helping us on the day they don't even really get to shoot them self's. The MegaShoot team is professional, friendly It's just an incredible day. Also amazing opportunity to practice your skill set and watch others tackle the same obstacles you have. I cannot recommend Mega Shoot enough and thank the guys. This year I introduced 4 new models to MegaShoot and they all had an amazing time and thanked me for bringing them. The guys that run mega shoot, they should be professional event organizers. Thanks you very much guyO

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!

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

Positive Experience

Everything.

Suggestions of what or how to improve

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.

Big thanks to DoransPhoto for keeping us fueled and happy with all the fruits and snacks. youre the real MVP.Everyone brought their A-game, their wild ideas, and their best angles. Cant wait for the next onesame time, same vibes, and hopefully the same well-behaved weather!

For those epic treks from the car park to the location a.k.a. the unexpected cardio session, maybe throw in some cheeky direction signs like This way to the megashoot 5 min walk, promise no uphill battlesThat way, people wont end up starring in their own lost-in-the-woods documentary.

So many, the location choice, the execution, the time an effort by the organisers, the weloming atmosphere.

Suggestions of what or how to improve

The website was a little tempermental for me I raise my hands it could in part be me. But I would get notification emails from the system and when I went on the site I couldn't see someones message or the change that the email stated. It also will not allow me to make changes to my profile, when I save it reverts to what it was previously. It is only a small thing because over all the experience was amazing.

Mega Shoot is an amazing day. Two people who come regularly, it's like a family. My thanks to the organisational team, they are amazing. It is so well run, it's quite incredible. I have met new people in my life who have become friends. True. Megashoes. It is amazing opportunity to meet and network with people of the same interest? It's also very interesting to watch other photographers work. And the way they handle the shoot. I would like to thank the guys again for organising. It came out of work they put in is quite incredible. People should really appreciate this. Between the websites. The organisation just blows my mind. Getting emails. When you're next shoots on, what are your models registered in or not? There's nothing more you can ask her. I think they even have a deal with the weather gods of Ireland.

Positive Experience

Everything is so amazing. Well ran and well organised. I think it's an absolute credit to the to the organisation team. I don't think any other event is run as well in Ireland.

Negative Experience

People who register and don't turn up. It takes 2 seconds to send a text to someone. The Mega Shoe team put in hundreds of hours. To make it happen.

I'm not sure you can it is so well ran May be charged a registration fee. That would help with ongoing costs. Maybe buy dinner for the Organisation team and their helpers and Partners. in a very nice restaurant. Thanks Very much guys, For yet another amazing day and a little bit of sunburn

His was my first time attending, and overall, I really enjoyed the event it was well organised and ran smoothly. I had booked four shoots, but only three ended up happening as one of the models had to leave due to the rain. They did let me know, so I completely understand and dont hold that against them. I do wish I had booked more sessions in advance, as once I walked around to see if I could fill the gap, I found that there were mostly photographers waiting and very few models available for ad-hoc shoots. Despite that, it was a great experience and a fantastic concept. Looking forward to the next one Ill definitely plan ahead better next time

Positive Experience

The event was well organised and ran smoothly throughout the day.

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.

Positive Experience

Meeting photographers and just having a laugh while waiting for the next time slot. I had 5 empty slots on the day but didnt get bored because there were plenty of interesting people to talk to.Clear and precice communication arround anything and all related to the event.

Negative Experience

The only negative thing for these events are the no shows. Life happens and things change, we all understand that some cancellation can occur. However the no show rate for the last event was bad. I alone had 3 No Shows in a row. 3 Models that did not even bother to cancel beforehand, or send me a single message to let me know. This behaviour would destroy a professional reputation.

Suggestions of what or how to improve

Exclude people who do not show up models and photographers and enforce a participation deposit that is voided if someone does not show up.
