Classic Posing??

[kimberley]

Ive been searching, here, PPA and the web....

Does anyone know of anyone who teaches a classic portrait posing workshop or if anyone offers this.

I am looking for an intense class on posing; familys, children, brides, formal/classic portrait posing.
Ive bought all the books I think that are out there and have even gone to musuem of fine art and studied the fine artist.

I am looking for a workshop, local or national....

any info would be awesome...

Abel..dont know if this is the right forum for this post, feel free to relocate as needed :o)

You may want to check out Hanson Fong. He normally has a workshop in Houston.
He has some really great posing techniques......

Kimberly,
You just missed the most intense week of learning posing, lighting, etc. It all happened at Texas School put on by TPPA the last week of April at Texas A&M in College Station. Check the TPPA http://www.tppa.org/ website for the dates and times for Kerrville it is in late June. One of the great books on posing was written by Don Blair and Skip Cohen, entitled “Don Blair’s Body Parts to lighting and posing. Don Blair was a masters, master. He was my first instructor at Texas School and I use what I learned from “Big Daddy” in most of my portrait sessions. If your library doesn’t have a copy ask them to an inter-library loan search, if they can’t find it, try connecting Marathon Press. Also, books by Tony Cobell www.corbellproductions.com/, Doug Box dougbox.com, are also excellent sources. Check out Frank Cricchico’s http://www.frankcricchio.com/ he too is a Masters, master. Study the images they have on their sites. They all have books about posing and lighting. Also, a good guide is Photography by Barbara London and John Upton.
These should help.
