Hi all,

This NEW workshop will include two models (maybe 4) that we'll be photographing an engagement style photo session with.
This is a GREAT opportunity for anyone who is interested in wedding photography.
You will see how to work with a couple, how to pose them, how to communicate to them what you have in mind for the shoot.
They are beautiful models! You will be able to use this to build your portfolio for engagement photos!Full model release is included!
This will be a HANDS-ON very private workshop I'm only accepting 8 people!!!

I will teach the following:

• Posing techniques.
  
• Working outdoor with available light.
  
• Working with reflectors to control the light.
  
• Coming up with ideas for the photos.
  
• Composition techniques.
  
• Communicating your ideas for the photo to the couple.
  
• Using multiple flashes at night for creating dramatic photographs.
  
• And much more!!!!
