I wanted to inform and invite all models and photographers here of/to the events coming February 6-8 2009 in Detroit.

MEET & GREET: On Friday February 6 2009, there will be a Meet & Greet for the erotic models and photographers of the Detroit Erotic Arts Collaborative shooting event happening the following two days.  The Meet & Greet will begin at 8pm in the lobby bar of the Leland Hotel in downtown Detroit, MI.  There is no cover charge, but it is $3 to park in the hotel's secure fenced parking lot if you are not renting a room.  It's a great time to meet other erotic artists and models for DEAC and the Dirty Show.  There will be music, drinks, snacks and good times.  This will also be announced to Dirty Show feature artists as well so it will be interesting to see who shows up next!  You can find further information on our event posts on Model Mayhem and MySpace.

WORKSHOPS: On Saturday February 7, there will be a variety of workshops and seminars designed to cover a diversity of topics presented in large part by the MidWest Society of Erotic Photography and select honored guests. These will range from novice introductions to shooting erotica, post production techniques, rope bondage, exhibiting to marketing erotica, 2257 federal regulations and more including a special guest Q&A presentation by Steve Diet Goedde.  Beginning at 10am, these workshops are open to the general public on a first-come basis.  See the Official Workshop Schedule for times, course descriptions, related fees and presenter biographies.

EROTIC SHOOT: On Saturday February 7 and Sunday February 8, the Detroit Erotic Arts Collaborative, a closed shooting event dedicated solely to the creation of fine art erotic photography, will begin at noon until 8pm Sat and 6pm Sun.  Shooting styles include, but is not limited to, artistic nudes, fetish, lingerie and pinup. The format is of the pre-scheduled trade variety in one hour intervals predetermined by the models and photographers prior to the event.  Photographers and models 18+, from novice to professional, are welcome, but due to the erotic nature of the DEAC, all participants must register to be reviewed for security within our professional and creative event. Visit our Official Website for further details, to register or view the growing Participation List.  You may also visit our forum thread on Model Mayhem.

Hope to see you there!
