Start Creating Stunning
Fine Art Portraits

​

I have spent the last eight years traveling around the globe and teaching my techniques to Photographers of all levels and styles. My classes are designed not only to give you an in depth look at my approach to portrait photography, but also create a supportive environment where you can feel comfortable to take risks, make new friends and connect with photographers from all different areas of this business.

 

In recent years, the world of photography has been turned on it's head with AI as well as an over saturation of new photographers entering the market. It's not enough anymore just to take good portraits or head shots. Clients want to be dazzled and see images that inspire them. It's your ability to distinguish your images from others in your market that will truly set you apart and keep your bookings solid. They want works of art they can hang on their wall or print in a book.

​

My workshops focus on three major topics. First,  will discuss the fundamentals of creating a successful shoot. This not only involves the artistic vision of your session, but how to motivate yourself and start connecting with potential new clients. . Then, we'll spend the majority of the day shooting and creating images with a variety of lighting styles and easy-to-follow posing techniques. Later in the day, we'll focus on editing in Photoshop and how to take your images to the next level. It's absolutely key to master each stage of the process to create successful photography business. My workshops are designed to help you get on track and overcome the obstacles that have been keeping you from reaching your full potential. My class is open to photographers of all levels and I welcome everyone from seasoned professionals to beginners who are just starting their journey.

“The workshop is ideal for the creative photographer creating standout images. You created an exciting and safe space for learning and engaging with photogs. This workshop creates lifelong friendships. I left far more knowledgeable, confident and ready to edit the numerous images captured over the two days. I schedule my own photoshoot to practice my learnings within 48 hrs. So glad I made the investment "
