アイドル撮影会
「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。
アイドルさんがかわいいポーズをとったら、全員が即座に0.2秒で構える。
大人気の篠崎愛ちゃんです。
今日の撮影会では一人のアイドルではなく、二人も撮影できる！
このアイドルは植野千尋ちゃんだ。
スタジオのなかに戻る。これはホワイトバランス設定のためだ。しかし、まだ一眼レフの設定がよくわからなく、WBを電球に設定したT口T。

クールな音楽が流れ、カリスマカメラマン気分に（？）
ツーショットタイム。
最後のセッションは記念写真。後の60枚の写真を明日アップします。

Danny, won't Auto White Balance (AWB) function on the camera help to get the settings right?
Have not been able to play with a proper camera since I finished my studies. So I might have forgotten functions >.<

These reposts always get to me. =P
Takes me a few seconds to realize that I've already read this.
I do like it though, nice kick of nostalgia.
Are reposts bugs or just traffic drivers?
This was a classic post though.
Don't forget http://www.dannychoo.com/adp/eng/703/Ai+Shinozaki.html has more pix

I understand the roles of idols, but not too infatuated with them. There's a limit to my enjoyment and I'd much prefer to spend the time doing other things like work cuz I tend to slack often and write on the DC walls ^_^

It's quite interesting to find this kind of service in Japan. You must be sweating Danny from all the heat around you. Idol+armor suit+lighting=sweat + Steam.

It definitely seems like something I'd be interested in doing, but I'm not quite sure how much photography would be going on; too busy ogling the lovely idols. Then again, if I paid an exorbitant amount then I better be sure to take some lasting memories.

Haven't heard about this type of events before you described them, thanks:)

I gotta get in a professional line of work that has opportunities like that... any suggestions? XD
Also, I was just taking my eyes for a walk on DC.com when I saw "Toylet Collectibles"... WTF!?

Not really interested in paying money for pictures with people I've never heard of. That's what wax museums are for. ^^;

Actually I thought the internet would be the place to go if you want cheap/free pictures of strangers :)
Wax museums can be quite interesting though.

My dad is a professional photographer, a very big Canon fan as well which isn't bad. We used to live near a military base and when he used to own a studio many of the customers were the wives or girlfriends of soldiers.
This article reminds of seeing all these young beautiful ladies walk in for their photos, even though it's the opposite of an idol session.
Mad scientist
Sounds interesting. I'm sure you have quite a lot of great photos of your childhood.
I saw a professional photographer on TV once. She said that half of the customers wanted a picture of themself to send/give to a girl/boyfriend. She said that she thinks musicians tend to be the most perverted because quite a lot of them want nude or semi nude pictures with their instruments. Is that your experience too?
BioResearch Assistant
Seeing as their boys were in the military the girls would tend to cute it up in what they wear for the photo shoot.
They sometimes would bring in and wear their soldier's army fatigues and/or pose with military props or weapons in hand. Basically anything short of nude that would otherwise make the picture very memorable and valuable to the husband or boyfriend.
Compared to idols in this photo shoot article the girls generally wore more clothes but it was still generally still loose.
The one photo that stood out the most I remember was this very very cute brunette, in her early 20s I think, who wore just panties and her boyfriend's field jacket which was only buttoned once in the middle of her chest. She posed twice, one with an AR-15 and one without.
From then on I developed a penchant for brunettes/dark-haired girls. Yea, she was that beautiful.

Paying to take photos? To each his own, I guess.

haha i wish i was in japan. So how does it actually work then, people just sign up to come and just take pictures then (and pay of course)?
Hotel - Night Audit
You should be allowed to get in free if you are used as a prop! I bet the manager has snaps of the idols+stormtrooper and it will appear in the next photobook. Are you kidding me? I would totally buy it if there were cute girls in bikinis with guns accompanied by stormtrooper . . . and I'm a strait girl. Imagine how much $$$$ (or yen I guess) they'd made off Otaku males . . .

Hello Mr. Choo,
You need to get Expodisc. Your camera gets really great shots. All you need is the expodisc. It works exactly as advertised.
Even more motivation for me to become a photographer. lol ^_^
