ABOUT ME:
At fifteen I discovered my passion was taking pictures. It’s been a long and bumpy road of learning that has brought me to where I am today. I want to share this love, passion and knowledge with others so that what took me 7 years to learn, you can grasp in one afternoon. From the very beginning I have built my shoots with like-minded creatives, I have self-scouted models, contacted freelance makeup artists and collected vintage clothes to style the wardrobe. I’ve explored locations, built mood boards and crafted stories. My process is still the very same to this day, and for that reason I believe anyone can create a magical fashion or portrait shoot. You don’t need money, connections or years of experience, you just need determination, passion and the right tools.
Before I knew I wanted to be a photographer I wanted to be a teacher. Last year while working as a photography mentor I realised just how much I love teaching photography.
ON THE DAY:
We will begin with a discussion where I will show you my workflow, then we will have lunch and chat about any questions you might have. In the afternoon there will be a group fashion shoot with an agency represented model.
Lunch and snacks will be provided on the day and each of you will get a little package of my colours and presets to help get you started with your editing.
After this workshop you will have the tools to create your own self-styled fashion shoot. You will be able to organise a team of creatives to bring your vision to life. You will feel confident in your photography skills to capture and create the images you in vision in your mind.
