We’ve enlisted the wonderfully giddy Katy Cee as our model for a studio art nude photography workshop on Saturday 8th September. Katy is a very versatile and experienced model … and a trained dancer. I’ve worked with her often enough to know that we’ll produce some stunning images – and (maybe more importantly) have fun.
A very small sample of my work with Katy: nudes on black and nudes on white.
We’ll work through a variety of different lighting setups (generally using a single light), demonstrating how the light works and interacts with the nude body (you’ll learn how to create nudes that are simply more than a flatly lit naked woman or cheesy glamour shots).
Working with a nude model isn’t for the chronically shy (though many try). A silent, uncommunicative photographer doesn’t put a model at ease, so we will actively encourage participants to interact with Katy.
We don’t ask that you’ve shot nudes before, but some studio experience is a pre-requisite. This class doesn’t require a huge amount of gear – your camera does however need a flash hotshoe or PC socket to trigger the studio flash equipment. A single lens covering the equivalent of 24-70mm on a full frame dSLR (typically ~18-55mm on a crop sensor body) would be adequate.
The class will start at 10am and will run until 5pm (with approximately a one hour break for lunch). As with all our classes and workshops we limit the group size – in this case 6 participants – we like to make sure everyone gets the care and attention they deserve (and shooting time).
The price of £180 includes VAT. Lunch and beverages are provided.
