The female face and form has inspired artists for as long as there have been artists. Joe Edelman has explored this arena for decades from both a commercial and fine art perspective. Working with live models, this hands-on workshop covers the following:
  • how to work with models in a professional manner
  • how to create poses that are both sensual and creative
  • the fundamentals of composition
  • using props and backgrounds
  • special pro tools and techniques
  • seeing and controling light to focus the viewer's attention
  • taking Photoshop's potential into account before you shoot
  • a few Photoshop tricks

Even beginners will develop the skills and confidence to make creative photographs of beautiful women. Note: Models will be photographed in lingerie and swimwear, i.e., this is a non-nude workshop. Be prepared to shoot lots of pictures!
