September 9-11, 2016 $710 - SOLD OUT
For the past 15 years, Kim & Gina Weston have been teaching Fine Art Nude Photography Workshops at their home on Wildcat Hill. We are located on the central coast of California, just opposite the beautiful Pacific Ocean in the former home of Edward Weston. Wildcat Hill is famous for the light that emanates through the windows and the skylight.
Location Just imagine when you attend our nude workshop, that you get to photograph under this same amazing light, at this historic location! The model to photographer ratio is 1 to 3 and with more than 3 private locations to shoot in, we can easily accommodate up to 9 photographers. While most of the locations are indoors we also have several beautiful outside areas to photograph in too!
Instruction Kim Weston will be your private instructor during this workshop and will work with each photographer in the group. Some of the topics that will be covered are:
Composition Lighting How to work with models Critique of photographs (done on the second day of workshop) Critiquing your work is one of the most powerful learning tools that we know of, it enables you to see your work, get feedback on it and then improve on it if needed. Preconceived ideas Storytelling Expectations Sharing your work Working within a group
Models We work with very experienced models during our Nude Photography Workshop. They are skilled in collaborating with novice to experienced photographers.
