You must know with intuition when to click the shutter. That is the moment a photographer is creative. The moment!! Once you miss it, it is gone, forever. - Henri Cartier-Bresson
Advanced/Creative Concept Photography Classes Available
Bodyscapes- Prices: $250 for both One-on-One instruction & Groups (limited to 5 photographers)
A lot of photographers that dive into the realm of Fine Art Nude Photography stop there. They only shoot the entire nude man/woman. The closest they come to a bodyscape is a ¾ shot. The goal of a Bodyscape photograph isn’t to shoot the entire model then crop it down later- instead fill the viewfinder with just that one spot. That one arch or curve or dip of shadow hiding this or that. Make the entire image just that one part of the model. This class will show you how and what to shoot when trying to capture a perfect bodyscapes image. There will be at least two models to work with and due to the adult nature of this class- this will be an 18+ instructional shoot.
Powder Paint- Prices: $125 for One-on-One Instruction. $45/photographer in groups of 2-8.
Have you ever seen those images from the Hindi festival of color known as “Holi”? Or happy brightly colored faces smiling in images taken at a Color Run and thought- I want to photograph that? Here’s your chance to learn how! This class will teach you how to set up for either an outdoor setting where all bets are off and the wind is your friend. And how to keep the mess controlled and the images stellar for an indoor studio location. Printed Copy of Syllabus Available on Request.
Re-Igniting Your Creative Spark- Prices: $125 for One-on-One Instruction. $45/photographer in groups of 2-8.
This class will run you through a list of exercises that will challenge you to think outside of the proverbial box. If you’ve been feeling stuck or photographing the same old thing, over and over again- this will help you re-ignite that creative spark that made you pick up the camera in the first place. You’ll get a printed copy of the exercises to take with you, as well as be encouraged to show me what you learned and shot while doing them on your own! It’s amazing how simple ideas and limitations can open your eyes and your shutter to new perspectives.
Images below are examples of the above listed classes in order.
