Finding Your Angle: Posing for Shoots and Selfies
May 3rd 5:00pm - 8:00pm ∙ Columbus, OH
FINDING YOUR ANGLE: POSING FOR SHOOTS AND SELFIES
Part Class, Part open Studio! Come explore Wicked Eden’s styled spaces, learn posing tips, and capture the cosplay or costume shots of your dreams!
This event will start with a 30 minute class where our instructor will share some tips on posing for, working the space for, and lighting your pictures/ selfies! The class is optional but encouraged!
Then we’ll allow for 2 hours of shooting time where attendees can utilize our set rooms and several other staged areas for taking their own photos and selfies.
Finding Your Angle is all about selfies and taking your own pictures. Because of this, we will not be allowing hired/personal photographers in the space. Please bring any cameras, tripods, ring lights, or other photography equipment for your own use! We will not be providing any cameras, external lights, or photographers.
WHO’S THIS EVENT FOR?
If you’re a cosplayer, a costumer, a Drag performer, a burlesque performer, a LARPer, someone looking to take a solo boudoir shoot, or even just a person who wants to take more diverse selfies, we have you covered at Finding Your Angle!

Wicked Eden is a place where you can wear as much or as little as you desire. We want you to always feel comfortable expressing yourself in whatever ways you desire.

VOLUNTEERS
We LOVE volunteers! Join our team of community volunteers, and you will find new friends, a support system and a tight knit center of empowerment. Once you have obtained membership as above, please check out the volunteering section of The Autonomy Project website.
By volunteering with us you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives, but you will also get perks such as discounted or free access to our events and classes, and most importantly, collaborative input in what we do here. Your ideas are important to us, and as a volunteer, we want you to feel like you’re part of our community: one that celebrates who you are and supports your journey.
HIGH POTENTIAL, NO PRESSURES
Our community thrives in a space where countless delightful interactions could happen, but none are obligated to occur. Think of it as “high possibility, low expectations.” Outside of our general requirements of respect, you are under no obligation to interact with anyone in any particular way. This makes our space ideal for new faces and seasoned community members alike.
HIGH POTENTIAL, NO PRESSURES
Our events aren’t the product of one person hosting a party for pay; they’re the result of a community coming together and creating something new. Everyone who attends is expected to co-create: money, time, energy, enthusiasm, work, intention, example, concern and/or awareness. Have ideas, games, art, music to share? Want to bring them to life with us?
A FOUNDATION OF TRUST
Our gatherings are magical because of trust. We fiercely protect each member’s privacy, encourage honest risk communication, and take diligent care of our shared environments. It’s our collective respect and integrity that fortify this safe space.
CLEAR AND PRESENT CONSENT
Upholding consent goes beyond preventing harm; it’s about affirming everyone’s freedom to fully and joyfully agree to their interactions. It’s through this affirmation that our spaces thrive with genuine, unreserved participation.
INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY
We’re committed to inclusivity. Our community is a tapestry of individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, and social backgrounds, including all gender identities and expressions. We encourage everyone to engage with empathy and curiosity, always asking rather than assuming someone’s identity or preferences.
Our space is and always will be wheelchair accessible, with multiple spaces for varying sensory needs.
PLEASE NOTE:
No refunds will be given on ticket purchases. Address is provided to confirmed ticket holders after purchase. Wicked Eden is located on the south side of Columbus, approximately 10 minutes from downtown, and is one block away from a COTA bus stop.
