What we’re about
WELCOME Photographers!
Oceanside-Carlsbad Art Photo Group creates a shoot where YOU can easily create outstanding, beautiful Art work WITH instruction and assistance in lighting and poses and model direction, as you might need it. We feature some of the best available Art Nude and Figure models - often traveling with a 4 or 6 hour minimum you won't beed to pay for... and all in expert & friendly environment.
Not group shooting. That style does not produce the best results either in portfolio, image quality, nor the photographers skill development.
You'll Shoot 1-1 (or with a teacher / partner from the group) and create compelling images that you can take as much or as little time as you need, be really proud of.
NUDE MODELS: We book ONLY experienced, talented Nude models, local and traveling into town for PAID assignments. Focus is on effective and creative techniques, etiquette and expertise.
Oceanside Carlsbad Art Photo Group is not the cheapest but it is worthwhile AND a more affordable solution than your needing to find and book your own model yourself and shoot alone... with a time minimum, studio costs, without Britt's lighting assistance and posing knowledge to help you get long term results .

Beginners can shoot solo with teacher ... or in partnership with experienced Amateur and Pro photographers to come home with stunning images. Check out the classes or just ask Britt for one ( working with models, retouching, lighting and more) Arranged upon request to suit your schedule.
Oceanside-Carlsbad Art Photo Group is a vehicle to learn about shooting models and get exciting results fast . . . Learn how to give expert direction for better posing, expressions and more. Learn about techniques, equipment, etiquette, and also styling, make up, processing, legalities ....
