The OKC Day of the Dead Photo Meet was a vibrant, collaborative gathering that blended culture, creativity, and community in the heart of Scissortail Park. Organized by In Luck Modeling and Thalia Hernandez Photography, the event brought together photographers, creators, and models from across Oklahoma for an afternoon of color, expression, and storytelling.
This photo meet offered a dynamic mix of styles:
• Models in everyday fashion, perfect for lifestyle, portrait, and candid moments.
• Models dressed in traditional Day of the Dead–inspired attire, complete with striking makeup, symbolic accessories, and expressive poses that honored Día de los Muertos themes.
Scissortail Park served as the ideal backdrop—with open green spaces, downtown skyline views, and natural light that shifted beautifully throughout the day. The relaxed and collaborative atmosphere made it easy to connect, experiment with creative ideas, and capture imagery ranging from subtle and emotive to bold and ceremonial.
Whether you’re exploring cultural themes, expanding your portrait portfolio, or simply appreciating the artistry behind Day of the Dead symbolism, this event was a rich creative experience and a highlight of the season.
