How To Run A Fandom Photoshoot

This is honestly going to be longer than sin. Bear with me.

So, I run a lot of fandom photoshoots and have been for over a year and a half now, spawning over mainly the Hetalia and Homestuck fandoms. Both of these have been rather large and at their worst I’ve commanded over 300 people with very little assistance (one helper). Over the time I’ve ran these shoots, I’ve heard a lot of horror stories from other people- that “no one else” can run shoots, and how well I do them.

Well, now you too can run a fandom photoshoot! I obviously can’t be to EVERY CON but if I can help some other people in running these (from EVERY fandom) I want to!

Details under the cut, but it’ll be split into 4 parts:

Part I: Preparing Yourself
Part II: Preparing the Shoot
Part III: Executing the Shoot
Part IV: Aftermath

If you EVER decide to make yourself in charge of a photoshoot at a con, PLEASE at least know what the hell you’re doing. This woman actually knows what to do, please listen to her.

PLEASE
