Knowing how to get the shot with the right mood, the right look, and the right expression isn't lucky, it's a learned skill. Our photographers are professional portrait photographers and love sharing their methods. In this workshop, you will work with Natalie Foti, a professional dancer. We move between locations, so no workshop is ever the same. Accessing interesting locations is one of the enjoyable and memorable aspects of this workshop. You will learn how to work with people and talent. You will understand the importance of timing in your photos and you will also understand how to build mood in your projects.
