Theme: Alice in Wonderland Fashion

Alice in Wonderland fashion aesthetic is a whimsical, surreal blend of Victorian elegance and playful fantasy. Think ethereal blue dresses with flowing skirts, accented by white lace or frilly pinafores, capturing innocence and adventure. Accessories like black ribbon headbands, knee-high socks, and Mary Jane shoes evoke a childlike charm, while modern interpretations mix bold patterns, oversized bows, and whimsical details for a fresh, avant-garde twist. The color palette is dominated by soft pastels, rich blues, and whites, with occasional pops of bold hues to reflect the eccentricity of Wonderland’s characters. Think oversized coats, voluminous skirts, and dreamlike textures—lace, velvet, and chiffon—paired with surreal elements like oversized clocks or teacup-inspired accessories. For further inspiration, search #WonderlandSlam on Instagram or "Alice in Wonderland 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. Entourage Models will be offering model coaching and a fun warmup before introductions begin. We'll have a private space designated for models inside Sekrit Theater for changing and model's belongings. Please bring hangers for any extra items. We're still working on having wardrobe and an MUA(s) onsite, available for models to integrate into their look - please let us know if you're interested in volunteering in exchange for free tickets and promotion. Check in, explore the space for inspiring portrait locations, get familiar with lighting, and meet other creatives before introductions begin at 6pm. Please consider November 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.
