LA Rope Photo Shoot

The LA Rope Dojo is proud to present our first LA Rope Shoot, featuring the rope work of Master "K." Patterned after the Japanese group photo shoot ("Satsueikai"), this event will gather 10 photographers to shoot the rope work of Master "K" and his selected model.

The shoot is scheduled for 4 hours and will feature 6-8 ties for the photographers to shoot. Each tie will have two segments. The first is a period of "open shooting" where photographers can move freely and shoot for any position they wish. The second period, each photographer gets a brief, individual and uninterrupted period (1-2 minutes) to shoot and direct the model as to position and expression.
