「撮影会」という言葉は聞いたことがあったが、具体的にどんなイベントなのかを知らなかった。ちょっと調べてみたところ、撮影会の種類のなかで、「アイドルの写真が撮れる会」がメインのようです。行ってみることに。もちろんアーマーで。
ベリーワッフルの撮影会のリポートを書いた人のHPを見て、なかなか信用できそうだったから、とりあえず第一部に登録しました。初めてだったので、ちょっと不安でしたが、この撮影会の関係者や参加者はいい人ばっかりだったので、不安はすぐなくなった。
一日は4部に分かれ、一部3セッションになっています。最初のセッションは公園で市民の服を、セッション2はスタジオでの水着、最後のツーショット&記念写真もスタジオで行った。

アイドルのDVD発売イベントよりも、撮影会の方が断然お得ですね^^;
DVDの発売イベントですと、60秒とか2分とかしか撮れません。撮影会ですと、1時間半もあり(一部の場合)、他の人が目線をもらっている間に、カメラの調整したりできます。 ストロボ撮影はありましたが、カメラの設定がまだ分からないため、使えなかったToT。そろそろ一眼レフの説明書を読まないと!

前日予約の方が安い。今日の場合は5500円ぐらいだった。入会費は2000円。

場所は六本木デジタルフォトスタジオだった。駐車所はすぐとなりにあったため、とても便利だった。受付での登録を済ませ、B1へとむかった。ここではカメラの準備などができる。

通常は並んで、20秒ぐらい写真撮って、列の後ろでまた並ぶ。最後にはアイドルを囲み、それぞれのカメラは目線をもらう。

レフ板があるので、自分のを持っていかなくてもいい。

How does this go down in Mainstream Japan ? Over here, hiring a studio and a couple of "models" would have most people calling you a prev. However, do it for a living and most guys would be calling you a lucky bugger. 
"...the manager made me pose like that..." yeah right, you loved every minute of it :)

Hmm... I think it a stamp per event.  Don't really remember now.  I attended three events back when I was a single guy.  Yep, you've got to be quick.  The first time I went, I think it was as important to show of your equipment.  Err, I mean camera equipment. *^^*  Then again that was a few years ago.  I'm the same, I have never used one of those sync setups, but I would like to give it a try.  First I need to master the Speedlite I just bought, before I try a studio setup.  Maybe spend the money someday for a small studio setup at home too.

I do like the manger's photos! ^o^  Definitely like the bikini stealth gear!  The group pose would have been nice for a few candid portrait shots...  Oooh, wouldn't mind going to one of these events again.  We are developing our photographic skills when we attend such events! ^_-  What I would really like to do is run a few of these.  I wonder how much the event organizer nets after he pays studio cost, model fees, and and gratuities he may owe the agency.  Hmmm....

Looking forward to your other photos!  When you get the time, read up on setting a manual white balance.  It's really easy to do, and you will enjoy the results. ^^

Sweet event Danny, hope you had a good time at the event. While I would LOVE to attend one of these things, I am at a "soul hunt" at the moment to find the correct lady in my life (I feel thats approaching fast is as college), so I have shyed away from being attracted to models and such. Not that it is wrong, in fact I see nothing wrong with it. I just want to concentrate is all :)

Woo would love to get to know one of these women, of course without being "hit" on or "hitting" on them.

Cool pics - the one of you posing with the gals in the trooper armour is ace!

The whole 'pay to follow a woman around and take as many pics as you want' thing seems a little creepy to me, though i can imagine its a dream come true for fans of these lasses. 
Ai-chan looks really, REALLY young though... I'd be surprised if shes even 18. Chihiro looks real purdy!

Does your wife approve? Most would chase you out of the house with a rolling pin - Andy Capp style!

Damn, we need such events worldwide.

Such models photo sessions doesn't exist in Paris. You have to pay for an alone session with one model. For example:
http://www.julie-modele.book.fr/
or
http://ewunaphoto.free.fr/
(I don't know them; they were just the first ones I found by Google and Live:))

Otherwise, yours photos aren't bad at all. I kind of this one:

particulary Ai Shinozaki's face and pose (she looks like a James Bond's girl).

danny, 撮影会 is the perfect business model if it were also started in Silicon Valley such as Saratoga or at the San Jose HP Pavillion Center where the Formula One Grand Prix is being held every year now. they will also like shopping at santana row! 

do not forget to invite the idols to california for the Grand Prix and please email me of the event if you get a chance to with 撮影会 in San Jose if it starts here.  I am interested in photographing the models also.

your photos with the models in bikini are awesome.  keep up the website with the idols. yoi desu! totemo tsugoi desu.
