Drew Selman Leads St. Louis Shooters on Shoot! The Day

There’s a lot of great things about St. Louis: the Arch, the Anheiser-Busch Anheiser-Busch InBev Brewery, and our very own Emily Hickey. And right up there is Drew Selman and his intrepid team of St. Louis Shooters who have counted out locations, cast models, and stuyding the School of Stock to get all the latest information on shooting stock photography.

Why’d you do it Drew?

“I started the group because I have been a Photoshelter user for some time and was excited about the concept of a one day group effort.  No one had started a St. Louis group.  It was easy today and has now snowballed.  We will end up with 4-6 locations in close proximity and we will rotate through each of them.  The models and shooters will get a good mixture.  It will also expose shooters (newbies and vets) to a lot of different variety.  We have a good mix of people, some who have never shot stock before and some other long time St. Louis folks whose work is pretty well known.  I probably fall in the middle.  I initially started recruiting by sending a note to the St. Louis Camera Club membership (I am the photojournalism chair this year) and by posting on the St. Louis Strobist group site.  Needless to say I’m delighted at the turnout.  My stock ranges between landscape and portrait most of the time.  We are going to try and cover as much of that as we can with this shoot also.”
