Tampa Shootouts
Beacon Modeling Photography Shootouts
The
Beacon Modeling Photography Shootouts are a classified, private shootout
event series primarily for the model clients of Aurora PhotoArts and Tampa
Bay Modeling. The main purpose is to support other Tampa Shootouts photography
shootout events, especially the Athena Modeling Photography and Networking
Event Series. Most of that support comes in preparing models to staff
the other shootouts, as well as creating marketing material to support
those shootouts. The Beacon Modeling Photography Shootouts are not marketed
to the public, and most of the work from these events is re branded to
support and market other shootout events, such as Athena, Allure, Focus,
and Lace.
The Beacon program is very selective, and only a small percentage of the
model clients of Aurora PhotoArts are invited to participate, as, much
like other shootouts and workshops, we do not want competitors using any
of these events to attempt to measure the volume of business that our
photography business partner does; the numbers will not add up, and they
will be useless. The Beacon Shootouts are only for the best of the model
clients of Aurora PhotoArts, with the description of the best also meaning
a good psychological and mental fit for assisting with our events.
As of 12/12/11, Beacon Modeling Photography Shootouts have been expanded
to include professional models and photographers, kind of like a private,
smaller, more exclusive version of the original specifications for the
Athena Modeling Photography and Networking Event Series; there will be
some overlap. These versions of Beacon, most of which will not have any
Aurora PhotoArts model clients in attendance (we will try to limit mixing
untrained Aurora PhotoArts models with others, especially with the Beacon
curriculum for those models will not be included in the versions for outside
participants. We are not training outside participants, and will not expose
outsiders to this material, as such training is provided on a need-to-know
basis only, and since they are not Aurora PhotoArts clients, they do not
need to know), will be used for specific evaluations of professionals
for shootout and workshop events, as well as to promote other events and
to create marketing resources for the other events. As a result of this
enhanced Beacon Shootout program, the parameters of the Athena Shootout
events have also changed; the Athena Modeling Photography and Networking
Event Series will now be more open to the public, and will have an additional
tiered purpose, a purpose which ties in directly with the workshops. Athena
Shootouts, being publicly marketed and promoted, as also much larger than
a Beacon Shootout, and can be up to ten times the size (Beacon Shootouts
are usually around 3 to 10 participants, and Athena Shootouts can range
from 8 to 60, or even larger, although most Athena Shootouts will be in
the range of 20 to 40 participants). Athena Shootouts are also more extensively
covered, and unlike the Beacon Shootouts, coverage material developed
in the event is published under the event branding (Beacon material is
rebranded and adjusted in context to support other event brands).
Beacon Modeling Photography Shootouts will not be promoted or marketed.
They are private, secret modeling photography events which are put together
in complete secrecy and confidence, and the participants are invited directly.
Invited participants are given information only on a need to know basis,
only, and are only given the minimal information that they need to participate.
They are also instructed to keep this information confidential. Beacon
Shootouts, however, will be extensively covered on Tampa Shootouts after
they happen, with sensitive information eliminated from the coverage,
classified, and not released. The coverage and marketing support material
is there to promote and market our shootouts and workshops, and not there
for competitors to learn from and to attempt to use that information to
copy our events.
Beacon Shootouts also contain a lot of security and information-security
related instruction, as the models have to be prepared how to handle certain
questions and specific situations, and they will be instructed to report
breaches of etiquette and protocol in our other events. They will be our
eyes and ears, as well as the subjects and the assistants. Models will
also be informed about the conditions of the market, who the legitimate
players are, as well as the risks. This instruction is required to help
prevent the reverse-engineering of our public events, as well as competition
shopping in our events. The courses are designed to make the models aware,
to prepare them, and to harden the models as targets.
The use of the word “Beacon” in this shootout event series
represents shining a bright light on the shootouts and the workshops to
attract outside participants to other events’ marketing and promotional
material developed from Beacon events it designed to attract outsiders
to our events. Inversely, there is a black ops side to Beacon, with many
of the features, and details, highly secretive, as this event series is
invitation-only, and not available to the public. Anyone asking to participate
with a Beacon Shootout event will be denied, as participants have to be
directly invited. Anyone too interested in Beacon, when the more appropriate
Athena, and other public shootout events, are available, makes them a
security risk.
