During The IBMS Main Event you will have the opportunity to meet, network, shoot, and build professional relationships with numerous industry professionals.
IBMS Main Events are different from typical photography workshops. At a typical photography workshop, one model will pose while numerous photographers shoot the same shot at the same time. Instead, during IBMS Main Events, Models and Photographers will pair together for individual photoshoot sessions for up to an hour at a time. We believe this offers more of an opportunity to network with others and improve your skills hands-on. There will be model mentors and photographer mentors present during The IBMS Main Event. These mentors will be there along the way to give advise and help you with whatever you need throughout the day.
The day will begin before sunrise each morning and end after sunset each evening. It is not mandatory to be present each day at these times but it is highly recommended so that you can take advantage of every shooting and networking opportunity. Each morning at promptly 10:00 AM there will be a group meeting. During this meeting we will talk about the plans for the day, answer questions, recap on the previous day, etc.
Since 2009, The IBMS has been successful in launching hundreds of industry careers and helping new models and photographers get published and gain exposure. The International Bikini Model Search and Bikini Shoot Camp can be your platform to launch yourself into the industry and gain the professional connections needed to continue to grow and succeed.
We are proud to say that many of The IBMS industry professionals are now traveling the world living their dreams. Our models, photographers, artists, and content creators have been published in over 200 national and international covers such as Playboy, exclusively in Maxim, FHM, Esquire, Sports Illustrated, and countless other magazines prints and online publications. They have appeared in television commercials, become spokes models for countless companies, signed contracts with swimwear companies, and have become some of the most professionals in the industry.
