New Workshop in 2013! - Workshop Full, email to be put on wait list!
This year you are invited to experience a unique “Nude Photography Workshop” in a private, intimate home on the Big Sur coast. Join Kim and Gina Weston as they lead their popular Studio Nude workshop in a fabulous new location this year!
Come to Big Sur to photograph and collaborate with experienced models on this old rustic family estate. Experience and capture the essence of Big Sur with its sweeping vistas and old growth redwood forests. We will have extensive gardens and a pool available for our use. Bring your ideas and imagination with you – there will be plenty of time and space available to make some fabulous fine art photography.
For our faithful workshop followers that have been to Wildcat Hill, here is a wonderful opportunity to come back and make some photographs with us at a new location!
Following the Weston Legacy
This two-day nude workshop (meet and greet on Friday evening 5-7 pm at our home in Carmel Highlands) offers a special opportunity for students to explore nude photography in Big Sur CA.
Photograph for 2 full days
Participants will get the opportunity to photograph the nude figure in 2 consecutive days. This allows time to get comfortable working with nude models and gives you another opportunity to photograph what you might have missed on the first day. This is a great way to add new content to your portfolio.
Working with Nude Models
We will focus on how to approach and work with models. Communication, composition, lighting are all important factors in getting a good photograph. Preconceived ideas; what are you photographing? What do you hope to get out of a session?
Locations
The class size is kept small with good model - student ratio. On the premises there will be several areas indoors and outdoors available to be photographing the nude in. Working in this way we have a maximum of time, space and privacy. If time permits one-on-one time with models may be arranged.
What to bring
Participants are encouraged to bring a portfolio of their work for viewing. 5 to 7 finished prints that have been matted and or presented for easy viewing. Students should bring their own film and equipment.
Dinner on Saturday Night
Guests will enjoy a Saturday-night dinner in our home and a fireside discussion of photography.
