Last Minute 2025 Year Kick-off!!! w/ Lovely Quebec Model Christelle in Marin

Hey everyone, Happy New Year 2025 to you all! I am so happy to start offering new faces this year, as well as repeat working with our favs!
Christelle and I have been trying to time our schedules to align for over a year! She just reached out to let me know she was coming to town soon, so I am pulling together this event for you all! We will also be using a new outdoor location for this workshop.

This event is great practice for those seeking to break into and gain experience in the model photography industry! We will practice shooting a mix of content levels from portrait fashion, bikini, to artistic nude in the landscape.

Christelle is a full-time traveling model with a dancerly background that will make for some lovely poses and the opportunity to capture them. Read more about her background and further review her modeling portfolio via the links provided below.

All Photographers will take turns rotating as well as work together as a team when instructed. Respect the model and your peers.

2 hour group shoot for $135 per session
with a non-commercial model release form included.
I will handle the model release and email it the day after the session.

LOCATION:
Parking lot in Marin Headlands Area, CA

Please read the event dynamics below:
Bring your favorite camera gear, but only pack what is comfortable for you to carry for about 1-1.5 mile of light to moderate hiking.

We will be shooting a mix of content levels from portrait fashion, bikini and artistic nudes in the landscape. The most common and best lens suggestions are 24-70mm and/or 70-200mm but you may use whatever you prefer.

From the parking lot we will take approx 1.2 mile loop trail and shoot around some of the historic Battery ruin structures, then some fashion on the bluff overlooking the coastline. Lastly, we will hike down to the sanctioned nude beach in the area for some bikini and artistic nude captures around the golden hour timeframe.

Please wear good hiking shoes and bring layers of clothing as coastal weather conditions are unpredictable.

Any further questions? Please send me a DM via Meetup messages.
