This was apparently my year of spending a little less time behind the scenes and getting out of my comfort zone a bit more.
So alongside the speaking gig I somehow agreed to, I also decided, with a fairly solid push from a friend, to run my first photographer workshop.
Am I sh****ng myself? Absolutely.
Am I still doing it? Also absolutely.
After 20 years of photographing people, I’m opening up my brain a little and pulling apart some of the things I do now without even consciously thinking about them.
And no, it’s not really a posing class.
We’ll absolutely talk about posing, but I’m much more interested in everything that happens around the pose.
Reading the person in front of you. Seeing tension before it ruins the photograph. Knowing what to say when someone freezes. Creating movement that doesn’t feel forced. Making tiny adjustments. Knowing when something isn’t working, and what to change instead of just cycling through another pose.
Because you can know 100 poses and still have absolutely no idea what to do when the person standing in front of you doesn’t fit the picture you had in your head.
My own work spans weddings, families, branding and bo***ir, but this isn’t genre-specific.
This first one is a small pilot, so I’m keeping it intentionally intimate, practical and conversational. OH AND DID I MENTION THERE’S 4 SPOTS LEFT!?
