Hi, I’m thrilled to offer this hands-on studio course exploring the intersection of fashion and fine art through contemporary lighting techniques in LA this summer! You’ll learn to compose, style, and light fashion photography, creating mood, texture, and energy to elevate your storytelling.
This course emphasizes real-world application, with opportunities to shoot for your portfolio during class and experiment with innovative lighting approaches. We’ll also explore trends in the photographic zeitgeist, examining how lighting shapes fashion, advertising, and fine art.
By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills and confidence to craft visually compelling fashion photographs and push your creative boundaries. I can’t wait to see what you create!
Reclaiming the Gaze: Women’s Bodies and the Power of the Muse
Are you ready to dive deep into the powerful intersection of photography and representation? Whether you're a self-portrait artist, portraitist, or fashion photographer, understanding the role of the female body in your images is key to creating meaningful, impactful work that honors the complexities of identity and representation.
Together, we’ll trace the evolution of how women’s bodies have been portrayed in photography—from the early days of fashion and fine art imagery to today’s socially conscious and diverse media.
As we engage in lively discussions and hands-on creative work, you’ll develop your own personal project that digs deep into these themes, giving you the tools and confidence to create art that resonates and challenges conventions. Let’s reimagine the narrative—one image at a time!
