When I left Coral Springs at 5:45 pm last night, there were 6 people attending this meetup. When I arrived at the studio @ 7:06 (by my watch, clock in the truck & clock in the studio) due to an accident on the Turnpike, there were 4 scheduled (two had changed their RSVP less than an hour before start time). One had apparently left already. 30 minutes later, one person showed up.
It takes a considerable amount of time and effort to prepare for these meetups, whether they be photo shoots or classes. I'd like to think that light study offers a good deal of value, when compared to other offerings out there - cutting edge tutorial materials, agency represented models, props you probably couldn't afford to procure on your own (cars, bikes, etc.) an most certainly not for the price per event. We've reached out asking for feedback, and 4 out of 362 people took 5 seconds to respond to the poll. Others BEG for themes in person, and don't bother to attend. So, WHAT IS IT YOU GUYS WANT???
