It's that time again, after a successful workshop earlier this year (several students now shooting for agencies, congrats guys!) I've decided to begin planning another 2 workshops based on the input from students for the end of June and July (see details at bottom for 2nd W/S and package deal) at two of my favorite locations that I think every photographer should have the joy of shooting at, first up: the beach



Some general info:
There'll be a small photographer:model ratio, ie. this is not a gang-bang/group shoot.  Smaller more intimate groups=more meaningful and better photos.  Class size will be limited to 8.

There will be a pro makeup artist I've used several times before on my shoots there to do makeup as well.  Makeup is a very important aspect to shooting this type of imagery and we'll go over what is generally acceptable and what isn't.

We will also have wardrobe from a stylist available.




Topics we'll cover:
How to shoot editorial fashion on the beach, without the photos looking glamour (ie. Maxim magazine). 

Shooting in Natural Light, without the use of artificial lighting to aide you.  We'll focus on using the environment, and at most a reflector to get dramatic and powerful images on the beach.

"How do you direct the models to do what you get them to do?"  I'll explain my approach to how to get the most out of your model, how to maintain a balance of getting that free/non-posed look, and still maintain control of the direction the shoot is going. 

Learn how to shoot usable images that will benefit you and your book.

Most importantly you'll learn how I approach telling a story with a series of photos.

I can assure you they will be actual major-agency signed models though...no faux-fashion models everyone and their momma has shot on MM at this one
