Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can anyone do a photo? How do I be a part of one your NOH8 photoshoots?
A. Of course! Our campaign includes everybody of all ages and all ethnicities from all over the world. All you have to do is attend one of our open NOH8 shoots, which we advertise here on our website and through our various social networks (you can click on the appropriate buttons at the upper right hand corner of the page).
Often times people believe our campaign only includes celebrities, but in reality the campaign includes people from all walks of life - from average, everyday citizens to the more familiar faces you might see linked to the campaign through the media.
Q. What if I want to be a part of the campaign but I can't attend an open photoshoot? Will there be more shoots?
A. We try to schedule at least 1-2 open shoots per month and do our best to alternate between weekend and weekday events. Beginning in 2010, we've also begun trying to take the campaign to other cities as well. The NOH8 Campaign is an ongoing project and has no end in site - so we will be continuing to take photos for the indefinite future.
Q. How long does it take to get my photo back after I get it taken?
A. The turn-around time is always changing depending on the amount of shots in the queue to be edited. That being said, it typically takes about 2-4 weeks on average to turn the photos around. This is NOT a guarantee.
Q. How many finalized photos will I recieve after attending a NOH8 photoshoot?
A. When you're filling out your Model Release, you'll have the option of selecting how many finished photos you'd wish to purchase. You will take multiple frames for each shot you purchase, but only one will be retouched as your final image. If you pay for one solo shot, for example, you will receive one retouched shot.
Q. Do I get to choose the final photo from the frames taken?
A. No. In order to keep the fee for the photos affordable and to turn them around in a timely fashion for everybody, each participant waives their right to choose which of the frames are retouched and will not receive the raws of the unused photos.
Q. How many frames do we get to take? How is my photo chosen?
A. Adam shoots roughly 10-15 frames per photo. Of those multiple shots he takes, one is selected to be retouched as your final photo. Adam selects the frame which he thinks makes you look best and which stands out the most from previous shots.
Q. Do we get copies of all the frames you take?
A. No - you will only received the retouched, final shot. The remaining frames are kept for archival purposes only.
Q. How do I know when my photo is finished? How do I receive my photo?
A. When you fill out your Model Release for the photo, there will be an area to write your e-mail address. Once your photo has been edited and uploaded to our website, you will receive a notification e-mail at the address you left us letting you know your photo is available, where to find it, and how to save it to your computer.
Q. How can I purchase prints of my photo?
A. When you click on a thumbnail photo, you are led to a sub-page with the full photo loaded on it. Below the photo there is a drop-down menu that allows you to add a copy of any print to the shopping cart.
Q. Am I allowed to use my photo on my Facebook, Twitter, etc.?
A. Definitely! Visibility is our most powerful tool, and many people have heard about the campaign from their friends and family on social networking websites.
Q. I love my photo! How can I order a print?
A. If you open your photo in the Photo Gallery, you should find a drop-down menu below the photo that allows you to add a print to your Shopping Cart.
Q. Will the NOH8 Campaign ever come to my city?
A. Our goal is to take the campaign to as many cities as we can, and we hope we're able to do that very soon. Keep an eye on the website for any future announcements regarding any upcoming shoots or tour dates!
Q. Where can I buy official NOH8 merchandise?
A. The only place for official NOH8 merchandise is through our online store, which currently carries bumper stickers, bracelets, mini-buttons, temporary tattoos, and our first line of original NOH8 t-shirts. We are constantly adding new items!
Q. Can I host my own NOH8 shoot to show my support?
A. The short answer: No.
Due to the overwhelming amount of positive responses we've received from all over the country, the NOH8 Campaign is unfortunately no longer able to give permission to people to set up their own photo shoots and NOH8 events. We really appreciate all the support and seeing everyone wanting to get involved, but we're simply at a point in our development where we have to try and retain some control over how our logo and name is being used and represented.
Unless an event has been listed and announced on our website, it is NOT an official NOH8 Event and is not affiliated with us in any way.
We've had a lot of confusion lately with people thinking other independent NOH8 shoots/events in different cities are affiliated or official in some capacity. Things become even more complicated once money and donations become involved.
People are, however, always welcome to put together a proposal that we can then bring to our board so that they can review it. You can e-mail your proposal to info@noh8campaign.com (Subject: ATTN: NOH8 IN MY ST8 Proposal).
Until the board has reviewed your proposal and you have received a written response from them with their decision, you may NOT proceed with any planning for your shoot whatsoever.
We can't stress enough how much we appreciate all the support, and we definitely love to hear that you're spreading the word of NOH8 in your area.
