Get behind the lens! When you open the pages of your favorite magazine, did you ever want to be a fashion photographer? Did you ever sit there as you turn the pages and wonder how these scenes get put together? Well... Now is your chance to learn about how these beautiful photos come to life! Fashion Photography is not just about pretty clothing or pretty models... In this workshop we will cover Fashion Photography, and as much of what it means to be a fashion photographer as time will allow. We will discuss topics including finding a model and, creating cohesive concepts for the shoot, creating a scene through lighting, posing, backgrounds, and general setup. You will additionally have a chance to photograph a professional model and learn about the whole experience from NYC Fashion Photographer Shana Schnur. Once we’re ready, we will have a fashion model pose for us so we can demonstrate the different types of lighting we can use, as well as give us the opportunity to practice setting up a real photo shoot and experimenting with props and themes. We will take you behind the scenes of the world of fashion, discussing the ins and outs of fashion and the business. Bring plenty of questions to ask!

Requirements: Please bring your camera, a pen, and a notebook to take notes. In this class we will not have time to review the basics such as how to use your camera, so please review the manual settings of your camera before class. After our Workshop, you will be asked to submit some of your best photos to the organizer, as a thank you to the model for her time.
