Overall a great event, this was my first one and I found it very well organised from the event team themselves. It was unfortunate that models left due to the rain, but not the organisers fault.

I loved that you provided drinks and snacks, the check in was efficient.

Overall Feedback

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.

Megashoot Madness What a Day!What a fantastic day at the Megashoot! New faces, familiar legendsboth behind and in front of the camera, brought serious creative energy. The location was awesome, the vibes were immaculate, and the rain actually behaved were still not over that miracle.Huge shoutout to Taz and his powerhouse team for pulling it all together like pros. 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!

Suggestions of what or how to improve

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.

Overall Feedback

My first Megashoot experience and it was brilliant.The professional organisation, stunning location and cooperative weather created a welcoming and safe environment for a brilliant day of photography. I worked with 4 models who were both creative and supportive and had prepared for the shoots as we had been in contact over Instagram prior to the event. The breaks in between sessions gave me the opportunity to chat and network with other photographers and models and get a much needed breather.

Positive Experience

The whole experience was so positive and I loved the opportunity to watch the other photographers in action when I wasnt booked. Great networking opportunity.

Negative Experience

Nothing at all - got my steps in with the walk from car park and toilet

Another Great Megashoot. Well Organised. Looking forward to the next one.

Positive Experience

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.

Overall Feedback

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.

It was my first Megashoot and was overall a great experience. A great community has been set up and it was a pleasure to participate.

Positive Experience

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.

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.

Positive Experience

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

Negative Experience

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.

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.

I enjoyed this shoot greatly, the location was great and there was a great sense of friendship amongst all. Thank you.... Thank you for bringing some refreshments,,,,Great organisation of the event and meeting point was nicely centrally located.

Positive Experience

I enjoyed meeting the members of the group , great sense of camaraderie. Nice meeting John and Taz again....The meeting point was well chosen in close proximity to all the significant locations ... well done.

Negative Experience

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

No need for improvement, I thought the communication before the shoot was excellent,,,everything well organised Thanks again , looking forward to next year all ready ,,,,,

I really enjoyed the shoot. I thought the organisation was excellent. There was a great vibe there. There was. a great sense of community also. Some of my models didn't turn up and some of the other photographers and models were happy to leave me in to shoot for a few minutes with them. Thank you to those kind generous souls.

Positive Experience

I genuinely appreciated the assistance, the generosity of everyone, even having a little bit of food was great there. I thought the setting was good also. Id be happy to help out too if need be going forward. The models and the photographers were grate too work with and everyone was very approachable, the conditions were difficult at times and large stand s and flashes were being challenged by the elements, help was always on hand Thank you.

Negative Experience

Id like to apologise sincerely to one model for getting the times mixed up,I was booked with Andreea Cazacu at 5 and turned up at 6 . My apologies Andreea.

Suggestions of what or how to improve

No a lot can be improved maybe have a few plaster, basic first aid some has a minor accident perhaps. I don't think this possible but I shot a few models not booked on my schedule and I am finding it difficult to track them too give them some images. Could there a work around , I d love to be able to end them a set of images from yesterday ...Thanks again AP 59

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.

One of my booked shoots didnt happen due to the model leaving after the rain.
