Cosplay Photo Mixer in Brooklyn
Thu, Aug 6, 10:00 PM### Join us on **Thursday, August 6th, from 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM** for a high-energy Cosplay Photography Mixer at FD Photo Studios, Brooklyn Metro. ### We’re opening **three completely different studios** so you can shoot your character in multiple distinct worlds in one evening: **⚡ Neon Garage** Vibrant RGB tunnel with glowing walls and a real motorcycle. Perfect for cyberpunk, techwear, villains, anime, and high-energy action shots. **🚗 RGB Ceiling Room** Mirror walls + RGB ceiling for dynamic reflections and dramatic urban lighting. Ideal for gritty, cinematic, and storytelling cosplay. **🌧️ Rain Room** Black cyc wall with real rain effects. Perfect for moody, emotional, film-like character moments and slow-motion shots. Whether you’re a **cosplayer** who wants to finally get the shots your character deserves, a **photographer** looking for unique environments and strong portfolio pieces, or a creative team wanting fresh content, this event is designed for you. **Tickets** Photographers $30 Cosplayers & Models $20 Duo Ticket for Two $40 Trio Ticket for Three $55 Add a 1-hour early entrance to your ticket for an additional $10 to prep for an event start: work on your hair & makeup, or lighting setup. **RSVP for an event to purchase a ticket** **Who this is for** Open to Heroes, villains, and everything between… cosplayers, photographers, videographers, models, actors, HMUAs, dancers, brands, stylists, designers, producers, and anyone building a portfolio or looking for fresh content. If you've been meaning to book studio time, try a new collaboration, or meet the NYC creative community, this is the way to do it. Cosplay is strongly encouraged (but not required). Bring your own costumes or collaborate with others on-site. ### How it works This is a collaborative group mixer. Please share the space respectfully and work together creatively. A few things to know going in: * **Studios are shared.** Please rotate between the studios so everyone gets time. * **Models and photographers are not provided or guaranteed.** You may bring your own team or collaborate with creatives you meet at the event. FD provides the space and available lighting, and grip equipment. * **Photo participation**. By default, attendees may photograph and be photographed. * **Model releases or commercial agreements** are handled directly between participants. FD provides the space but does not mediate individual arrangements. Attendees are responsible for their own equipment, personal items, and personal safety during the event. Our host will be on-site throughout to help with anything you need. See you at the studio! **RSVP for an event to purchase a ticket**

Fun & easy way to play more tennis (read event description)
Thu, Jul 2, 11:00 PMWe’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches. These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun! Also, if you’re looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you aren’t already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what we’re all about and sign up: https://www.playyourcourt.com/tennis-community/montclair-nj/meetup/ If you love tennis, we’d love to have you! Be sure and watch the quick video that explains how everything works. Happy hitting! - Scott
