Model Shooting Workshop

Just checking out if there's a quorum here. I thinking of organising a model shoot workshop. Preferably in a studio if not outdoors. Will be limited to 5-6 photographers at most. Will be either using models I have worked with on Model Mayhem or some new model. What will be taught will be posing, lighting and sorts.

Depending on time/location and model release conditions I'm interested ... TFP I presume?

I was thinking of organising something like this next session myself and one model I've worked with as part of a different photoclub's model shoot is also interested (and is a former UNSW student herself).

Won't be going for TFP. I'm quite selective on the models I work with. There must be chemistry and I am in full liberty to shoot whatever I want. I might be using the same model I shot with this morning.

Cool, I'd be interested to see what you have in mind if/when this goes ahead :-)

OO the master has spoken. I'm interested but yea depends on when also ...

Not a master. My mentor is for sure.

Count me in! As long as it is after work hours I will be free to attend

It will be either on a Saturday or Sunday morning if we are shooting out doors for ambient light. Flashes are useful but natural light is the best.

Ah yes ... how does that quote go? "Don't let good light ruin a photo" ... this is a hole I'm trying to dig myself out of at the moment I must admit ...

Mornings ... ugh ... wonderful available light and not too crowded if outdoors but (in my case) awful time for the brain ... although with winter arriving it's probably not quite so bad ... hehe ...

So Nick, mind pointing us to some example shots of the model/scenarios you have in mind? (I'm having a bit of trouble finding examples of your shots in the system.)

It depends on what you all want to shoot. Drop me a private message for the examples - all NSFW.

For me at least what we shoot is perhaps less important ... my near term aim in taking photos of people is to try and learn more about the art of making a picture of someone - how to pose them, pick the lighting and background and apply the other techniques available to a photographer to convey a message, feeling or whatever.

Being an engineer, I think I've managed to get the science of photography down ... it's the art that is still a bit more hit-and-miss than I'd like

So ya ... anything really :-)
