EARTH, SKY, WATER: FIGURE IN THE LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

SEPTEMBER 11-15, 2024

$1,300

Water will be the dominant element and backdrop in this figurative workshop. This is an opportunity to work on figure in the landscape in a smaller group setting. Work collaboratively with our models to put intimacy and genuine emotional connection in your photography. Go past the easy route of putting ‘pretty’ people in ‘pretty’ locations creating pretty boring photos by making photos that delve deeper into the human psyche and spirit.
