Class Summary

Do you ever feel held back in your photography because you donโ€™t have access to exclusive locations, huge budgets, tons of expensive gear, or top shelf talent? This class will show you how to not only create photography concepts that work within the space and gear you have access to, but will also show you ways in which you can manipulate that space to get the high possible production valueโ€”and elevate your work to the professional level.

This Class Is For

This class is for photographers of all genres who are ready to think outside the box and take their photography to the next level.

Class Takeaways

Students will learn how to approach a photo shoots from a number of different ways that will help them make amazing imagery. Topics weโ€™ll discuss will include:

  • Concept design: how do we generate creative ideas that work for the existing space?
  • Set decorating & styling: what elements can we introduce to the space to elevate production value?
  • Lighting: how do we light the photograph to help tell the story and make our space look the best it can?
  • Color theory: how can we use color as an effective design tool?
  • Post-production: what adjustments can we do in the editing room to finesse the final image?
