NOH8 IN ST LOUIS



On SUNDAY, MARCH 18TH the NOH8 Campaign will set up their mobile studio at CLAYTON HIGH SCHOOL, bringing the NOH8 Campaign to the St. Louis area for the very first time. 

Previous NOH8 photo sessions in St. Louis were not taken by the NOH8 founders Adam Bouska and Jeff Parshley.  Even though those events yielded an outpouring of support, this is your opportunity to meet the two artists, and have them take a new NOH8 photo.  Adam and Jeff are the photographers who created a global statement around their art and love for each other.

The photo shoot on SUNDAY at the CLAYTON HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM is scheduled to begin at 2:00PM and end at 5:00PM. The NOH8 Campaign would like to thank the CLAYTON HIGH SCHOOL GAY-STRAIGHT ALLIANCE in helping to coordinate our first photo shoot in ST. LOUIS.

The costs of posing for an official 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'. Fees cover services & processing for one retouched digital print only (made available through www.NOH8Campaign.com) and do not include physical prints. 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 5:00PM 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 and 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 8 weeks through the website www.NOH8Campaign.com 

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO? ARRIVE BETWEEN 2:00PM AND 5:00PM CLAYTON HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM 1 MARK TWAIN CIRCLE CLAYTON, MO 63105 * COME CAMERA READY * * WEAR WHITE * * POSE and MAKE A STATEMENT!

Once you arrive, the NOH8 Campaign will apply the NOH8 temporary tattoo to your face, and we will also supply you with the silver duct tape for the photo. Funds raised by the NOH8 Campaign will be used to continue promoting and raising awareness for marriage equality and anti-discrimination through NOH8’s interactive media campaign. This includes bringing the campaign to other cities around the country, as well as compiling the images for a large-scale media campaign. Under consideration is the expansion of our campaign to other media, including television and radio broadcast, billboards, and magazines. Contributions are also used to cover the daily operations and maintenance necessary to run this rapidly growing campaign. The NOH8 Campaign is an approved 501(c)(3), donations will be tax-deductible up to the amount allowable by law.
