Designed for students who are seriously interested in fashion photography, this course focuses on the anatomy of a fashion shoot. Primarily a hands-on studio course, all aspects of the field will be examined: editorial, advertising and beauty. Working with models and make-up artists, the course will focus on creative problem solving and maintaining highly personal style. We will cover many lighting techniques, including strobe, Kino Flo and hot lights, as well as using gels and filters for fine-tuning color and black-andwhite film. The relationship between photographer and model, art director and client, and how to work with professional labs will be discussed. Portfolio review will address the content and professional presentation. Students may work with various camera formats from 35mm to 4x5", in digital or film mediums.
