Sasha Skye on my Garden Pole 2024
Group Photo + Video Shoot with Skyclad Studio
Date: Sunday, May 27th 2025 7-11am (this is the prettiest light on the pole, you don’t need to show up at the beginning of the shoot) The sun goes back on the pole from 2-4pm - it is harsher light but if this is the only time you can do feel free to purchase a package and email me at skycladstudio.pnw@gmail.com to let me know you’ll be there in the afternoon.
Location: Lake City, Seattle (exact location will be emailed to you after sign up)
Join me for a magical opportunity to capture your dance in my secret garden pole space! I am a permaculture based landscape designer and organic gardener as well as a stripper and redesigned my rental backyard to frame the pole and the sunlight hits beautifully in the morning. We can take photos and video with just the pole and wander into the garden for some portraits with the flowering trees and gazebo. I am taking both photos and videos for this shoot, although I have a photos only package available.
Here's what you can expect: Free parking outside my house. Order of dancers getting photos/videos will be first come first served unless you email me to reserve a specific time slot so you may need to wait for some folks to go before you but you'll get to watch some beautiful dancers and possibly make a new friend! You can leave as soon as you are done if you like or stay and hang out. The best lighting is earliest in the morning so if you’re brave I encourage you to come early! If you come right at 11am that is okay just know that as it gets closer to noon the sunlight is directly overhead and is harsher than in the earlier morning. Still beautiful though! If you want to come even earlier for sunrise I would be happy to be ready then just shoot me an email at skycladstudio.pnw@gmail.com after you buy your package if you want to shoot at day break.
Pole Details: We are using a X-Pole expert stage pole with pink powder coat (I may buy a brass pole before this shoot, will update the page if so). The pole can be changed to static or spin at your preference. You will sign a liability waiver releasing Skyclad Studio from responsibility for injuries on the pole before the shoot. We will set up the stage pole (rated for up to 250lbs) to be as safe and stable as possible but you need to be mindful and be careful!
How long do I have to sign up? Shoot registration closes at 5pm the day before, Saturday May 24th unless the shoot sells out, in which case will make an announcement on social media and this page that registration is closed. A couple days before the shoot you will receive an email with exact address, this is my personal home I rent so please be respectful of my privacy and don’t share the address with anyone outside the shoot.
Is my booking refundable? Shoot price is fully refundable up to 24 hours before the shoot. If you cancel within 24 hours I will refund you 50%. This policy is to help me have enough time to find someone to take your place in the shoot as they usually sell out and spots are limited. If the weather is stormy on the planned day I will provide a backup date and refund anyone who is not available for the rescheduled date.
