2013 Photoshoot Poll

Photoshoot Date Poll

It has been quite a while since there was an Abandoned In Detroit photoshoot. The poll at left and on the sidebar of the website is being used to determine interest in holding a shoot this year. There is a location on W Fort St that I've been watching for a few years and this would be a good time to use it.

Entrance Fee Reduced

A ONE-TIME project entrance fee is used - which paying once means you are on the roster of member talent and welcome to attend the shoot. So if you've already paid in the past you've got an invitation to the shoot headed your way. Considering the amount of activity the project has had and recent involvement, this fee is being dramatically reduced from $100 to $30 at this time.

Why Join The Project?

Connections are a major factor toward success in any business. This project has drawn talent through shoots and related events since 2005. A number of designers have brought their early work in and shown it off during the shoots. Runway models have been found and talent connections for photographers, makeup artists, accessory designers, hair stylists continue to happen.

We have visited locations which have gone through remarkable changes, such as the Dequindre Cut (shown above) before it was developed into an activity path. We can't predict the future too specifically, but we know the landscape of Detroit is going through a lot of changes. Talent from the project have also gone through changes as well - hopefully those involved in past shoots will come back and join a shoot again this year.
