LEARN TO CREATE STUNNING FINE ART PORTRAITS
Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime fine art portrait photography experience. Together, we’ll explore the full creative process—from directing and posing with confidence, to shaping light for mood and impact, to polishing your images with advanced retouching techniques. You’ll be working alongside an inspiring group of photographers, collaborating with amazing professional models, and even learning from a special guest who will share their own creative insights. This is a hands-on experience designed to spark inspiration, push your creativity, and give you practical tools you can carry into your own work. Most of all, it’s about connecting with others who share your passion for creating powerful, memorable portraits—and having a lot of fun along the way.
