Workshop instructor
Adam Chilson (MM#19554) creates his jaw-dropping imagery through the lens, using little and often zero Photoshop or digital post-editing, and teaches from this perspective.
The studio lighting workshop series focuses on controlled lighting techniques for portrait and artistic nude photography, along with set-building elements to create eye-catching images. Each full-day workshop combines demonstration and discussion of lighting setups with hands-on practice, and multiple shooting sets with fine art models.
Workshops include full makeup and styling by
Lisa Berczel (Battledress Paint-n-Body, MM#47292) to complete the polished look of the images shot within the class.
Models are TBA - announcement to follow in late September.
All workshops limited to eight photographers, registration by advance payment.
