Nerd Who Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 2 hours ago, Broo said: Sort of on this topic, what's the most photo ops anyone here has bought to have with a guest? Just curious :) For this year I already have 3 photo ops booked with Peter Capaldi, 1 included in DP, 1 extra, and 1 joint shoot with Pearl Mackie. Although that number might increase if they add more double photo ops with him Usually, though, I stick to only 2 photos per guest maximum, one individual photo and one group photo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should go for it if you’d like to have photos with both of them & can afford it, it’s a great way to meet two amazing guests at the same time!

MarioVl Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 The only time I've booked two photos with the same person at the same event was Dina Meyer. One with just her and one with the Starship Troopers group. I do like her quite a bit The only guest for which I've bought two photoshoots with him alone is Stan Lee. LFCC 2014, of course, was to be a once in a lifetime opportunity; but a couple years after, the stars aligned so that my group of friends and I were to another event where he was a guest, and since he's a big inspiration for a NGO that my friends created and I help with, we made a big thing of presenting him with a plaque and having a photoshoot with him, us and the plaque - I know giving gifts to guests in a photoshoot is usually a big no-no, but we made it work! Also, Aaron Douglas is a bit of a special case, since he's been a guest twice at a convention that I once attended and now manage. So I have a photo with him from the first year where I was an attendee, another one from the second year where I was the manager, and another one from this second year with all the staff - technically I didn't book this, since we include it as a courtesy to the organizer clubs. (I hope this counts as a personal story and does not break the rules about discussing other events!) At my first convention ever, the guests were Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell. I was so thrilled to be able to have my photo taken with both of them! A few years later, EJO was a guest at LFCC and there was a double photoshoot with him and Jamie Bamber. I could have picked just Jamie, since I already had a photo with Eddie, but a photo with both Adamas was too cool to pass up. Similar times when I've booked a photo with a guest and the next year have booked a group photo that included them have been: Marina Sirtis / The Next Generation Group, and Hayley Atwell / Agent Carter group. Both are such amazing women that I cannot have enough photos with them! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen_Sindel Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 8 hours ago, Broo said: I meant the former, but now I have to know which guests you've had photos with over the years! (There are a few I know I would get photos with every time they attended haha!) Well the ones Raylenth had correct were Ben Browder and Alexis Cruz. The ones I added in my response to her are Michael Shanks and Peter Williams. Next up would be Claudia Black, then Craig Parker from Lord of The Rings and Anthony Head from Buffy unless I missed a folder, but these three are pretty far back from the first four. Claudia would be higher up in ranking if she wasn't such a rare guest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly Black and Browder, I liked them in SG1 but in Farscape they repeatedly broke my heart (and had me in stitches!) they were incredible <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are too many brilliant ones to mention them all but I loved the whole story about Crichton and all the mental suffering he went through with Harvey. The eps that particularly stick out for being insane where the one where they had to escape from that tower and the one that was almost entirely a Road Runner episode.

Oh yeah there were so many brilliant brilliant episodes! And s2 is my favourite exactly for that storyline (Browder was absolutely incredible, what an actor!).
