Creative and Natural Lighting for Beauty and Fashion Portrait with Joao Carlos Skill Level: Everyone Be the first to write a review This intense workshop explores the fundamentals of Creative Lighting for Editorial Fashion, Beauty, and Commercial Fashion Photography in the studio and outside! Includes a lecture, presentation, discussion, hands on training and shooting from Hasselblad Master 2009 and Westcott Top Pro, Joao Carlos.

Through hands on shoots with professional models and supported by my creative team of fashion stylists, make-up artists and hair stylists, you will explore the basic ideas, concepts and components of creative storytelling in fashion photography. I believe firmly in teaching attendees how to creatively think for themselves and learn on their own once the workshop has come to a close. Editorial photography is about storytelling, exploration and emotion. Understanding how to communicate with your team and your model is fundamental in creating creative imagery that sells fashion and lifestyles. You will walk away with your own unique fashion, beauty or lifestyle stories to use in your book. Portfolio Review Session:

The workshop begins with a portfolio review session. Students are asked to bring a portfolio of 3-20 images in print or digital format on their laptops and/or Ipads, which will be reviewed and critiqued on the first part of the workshop (optional). This gives Joao the opportunity to see where you stand in your development and what skills and techniques should be focused on during the workshop. Joao will go over such procedures as working with editors, deadlines, assignments and freelance projects, building and presenting a story online using personal websites. The nuisances of working with editorial clients and how to facilitate and advise will also be covered. Preparing for the future and impending changes in the industry will also be discussed. – Photographing under adverse conditions: Gaining your subjects trust and photographic ethics.
