Theme: Retrofuturism Athleisure Fashion

Retrofuturism athleisure fashion blends nostalgic design with futuristic innovation, creating a bold and dynamic look. For a portrait photography event, envision sleek, metallic fabrics, geometric patterns, and vibrant neon accents mixed with classic athletic cuts like tracksuits, leggings, and crop tops. Elements such as holographic materials, reflective finishes, and modular accessories evoke a sense of the future while paying homage to past visions of space-age style. Silhouettes are both functional and forward-thinking, with a nod to retro sportswear like the 80s or 90s, but updated with tech-inspired details like zippered compartments, smart fabrics, and high-tech footwear. This fusion of past and future creates a striking contrast, perfect for creating visually dynamic and eye-catching portraits that blend movement, style, and imagination. For further inspiration, search #EmpowermentSlam on Instagram or "retrofuturism athleisure fashion" on Pinterest. Please remember: we celebrate diversity, body positivity, self-expression and creativity. Incorporate your own unique style into your look, let us know if you have any questions, and don't be afraid to get weird.

Models:

Please arrive dressed in your unique interpretation of the theme and be ready to shoot. Arrivals begin at 5pm. We're currently seeking a designer/vintage clothing shop and MUAs to offer volunteer styling during arrivals in exchange for free tickets & promotion - please let us know if you have any suggestions. We'll have a private space designated for models inside Ferocious Fitness Boxing Gym for changing and model's belongings. Please bring hangers for any extra items. Check in, explore the space for inspiring portrait locations, get familiar with Nanlite lighting, and meet other creatives before introductions begin at 6pm. Please consider April weather and be prepared to work with many different photographers in quick 10 minute sessions.

Photographers:

We appreciate it when photographers & videographers dress in sync with the vibe and rock the theme, but they aren't required to. Photographers should wear comfortable shoes and arrive with their camera ready to shoot. Please try to arrive by 5:30pm, in time for lighting & gear demos. After checking in, browse Tamron's lenses, Nanlite's lighting and Fujifilm's cameras, all available to borrow on location. Precision Camera will be available to assist with gear. Prizes will be given away at the end to the participants who get most creative and engaging with Fujifilm, Nanlite and Tamron gear (just for fun, slams are not competitions).  Explore the space for inspiring portrait locations, take a few test shots and chat with fellow creatives. Introductions start at 6pm. We begin each slam by pairing everyone up. Please be prepared to work with many different models in quick 10 minute sessions. Personal lighting and film photography are welcome but please tread lightly and check in with us before flying a drone. Photography assistants are required to purchase a general ticket.
