Photography Mentoring & Workshops
The Workshop Experience-next date TBD
In this workshop, I want to give you the realist of scenarios, and the strongest education possible in enhancing your portraits and business. This workshop is not geared towards just drawing inspiration, but gaining knowledge thru detailed instruction and experience. I want every person to leave feeling fulfilled with knowledge, and of course feeling motivated. Nearly every person that sits in front of my camera during my sessions is not typically comfortable in front of one- so how do we get them there? We will work with all 3 models who are not experienced industry models, but realistic clients coming in to model for us, as I take you every step of the way, guiding them thru wardrobe, placement and portraiture. We will work with natural lighting and editing techniques to help bring your work to its best.
Beyond the session itself, therein lies the business aspect of running a studio. Where is best to advertise? When is the best times to respond to emails while also being able to maintain your own non-work hours? How can we create a workflow within our sessions to cut down our editing times and session culling? How can you curate your social media and website to display your portfolio the best? All that encompasses the back end work that must be done, must also be structured in a way to support your success inside the camera.
Join me in Los Angeles, CA for an intimate 7 person workshop, as we spend a day in studio as we shoot a maternity and baby session together, and an afternoon the next day on an outdoor maternity session. We will go over all the details that encompass creating and perfecting portraiture in motherhood photography, helping you in running a successful motherhood portraiture business.
