PROGRAM OUTLINE - NUDE AND GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

We start off the morning bright and early at our studio with coffee and a brief introduction. While the models are getting their hair and makeup done by our team of makeup artist and hairstylists, we start our class discussing our approach to glamour and nude photography, the lighting setup and model direction. We also discuss your equipment and how we will be integrating your specific camera into our lighting setup (synch cords, slaves etc.)

We then break into groups to photograph models. We will have stunningly beautiful models who will be posing in a range of outfits, from glamour to topless to nude. For our larger workshop groups, we will set-up two model stages to allow 2 groups to shoot at the same time. You will get to work one-on-one with all our stunning models, directing them into poses you like, and getting the photos you want. This will NOT be a free-for-all with everyone trying to direct the models all at once.

At midday we break for lunch. After lunch you will be back in front of the models, shooting on different sets, changing their wardrobes. You will each be able to personally direct and photograph your models in a variety of outfits, from sexy lingerie to nude boudoir scenes.

At the end of the day we finish up with a review of your images on the big screen, and we will select a few images for a quick demonstration of our professional Photoshop editing tricks-of-the-trade to get the most out of your images.

Our large glamour and nude photography workshop is limited to 20 photographers. Our smaller nude and glamour photography workshop is limited to 10 photographers. For those interested in a more personal approach we offer private one-on-one glamour nude photography classes with one or more models.
