When Michael contacted me from Bermuda wanting to set up a private workshop with the emphasis on glamour and fashion photography, I knew the perfect model!! Anna is from Russia and she is a great model. As they say in the movies “the camera loves her” — what an understatement!! Anna, with all her elegance and grace, just turned 21……can you believe that?
If you are looking for a custom workshop or you just want one-on-one instruction, or the workshop you want to attend does not fit with your schedule, then consider scheduling a private workshop. We can customize the anything for you. At this private workshop, we started at my studio with studio lighting. Then we went on location to some uber cool urban settings. Scroll through to enjoy the results of this workshop…………………………………………Using doors in the background– to add color and texture, we placed the doors behind a large window and shot this with only window light and a reflector.The shot on the left is with backlighting and a reflector that bounced the beautiful later light into her face and created the catch lights. These images were taken inside with a video light illuminating Anna, plus I angled down the overhead can lights to help us out. Red fabric was put over the sofa so the yellow dress would pop.Do not forget to shoot details on all of your shoots. .We were walking around and found this coo dumpster…………..Yes a dumpster!!! Michael probably never imagined when he scheduled this workshop that we would be shooting in front of a dumpster…….BUT it REALLY is all about just what the camera sees!! Awesome and amazing were inadequate words for this shoot with Michael and Anna!!
Hi Mike,
I was just looking over your site and came across these photos from my One on One session. This was a great shoot and we really capture some great images. Any photographers looking for some great instructions and insight into various techniques a workshop with Mike is well worth it.
