Open Photo Shoot @ Capital Square

On SATURDAY, JUNE 4th the NOH8 Campaign will set up our studio at CAPITAL SQUARE in DES MOINES, opening up the opportunity to join the campaign to all the NOH8 supporters in the DES MOINES, IOWA area!

The photo shoot on SATURDAY  is scheduled to begin at 10AM and end at 1PM. You do not need to make reservations; it's first come, first served! When you arrive, you will receive a numbered model release to fill out, followed by receiving your NOH8 tattoo. We will call numbers throughout the day, and your corresponding release number will signal your time to line up to have your photo taken!

The costs of doing a NOH8 portrait break down as follows:

SOLO PORTRAITS .......... $40.00

COUPLE & GROUP PORTRAITS ........... $25.00 per person

The NOH8 Campaign accepts cash, most major credit cards, and checks made out to 'NOH8Campaign'. Fee covers services & processing for one retouched digital print only, made available through www.NOH8Campaign.com.

The lines moves quickly, so don't let the RSVP's intimidate you. We always do our best to make sure that everyone in line by 1PM has a chance to pose for their photo - and up to this point, we haven't ever had to turn anyone away! Anyone that would like to join the NOH8 Campaign is asked to wear a plain white shirt to match the look of the signature NOH8 photos.

Celebrity Photographer & NOH8 Co-Founder Adam Bouska will be working around the clock to photograph 5-10 frames for each person that comes through. The final selection he chooses will be retouched and made available to you in about 4-8 weeks through the website:
