PhotoShelter, Nikon, Apple and Adorama to host Shoot! the Day photography event
Photoshelter together with Nikon, Apple and Adorama, is hosting a photographer event on July 20th 2008 called Shoot! the Day, in response to a recent PhotoShelter industry survey of nearly 700 photo buyers who stated that “they tend to see the same images over and over again particularly in categories such as healthcare, interior décor and eco-friendly shots”. During the Shoot! The Day event, jury-selected photographers will work in groups with expert photographers on planned shoots at locations such as a suburban home, a bar and a corporate park; all with the goal of capturing a variety of perspectives on those subjects identified as lacking in creative stock imagery.
Aside from the obvious promotional opportunities, the events sponsors are hoping to inspire creativity among the artists by getting them to collaborate to ”replenish the waning supply of fresh stock imagery” as stated in a recent press release.
Shoot! The Day will bring together hundreds of photographers, art directors, photo editors and buyers to participate in the event which will also host a virtual component in which photographers from around the world are encouraged to create their own groups to capture the same list of subjects provided during the live event.
All images are expected to be posted to the PhotoShelter Collection following the event. The photographers with the best images in each category from both the live and virtual events will be selected to receive prizes and will have the opportunity to be featured in a gallery show
