Working With Non-Models

As a photographer working out in the real world, the fact of the matter is that most of your clients are not professional models. They are usually going to be ordinary camera conscious folks, which will result in those wonderfully corny grins and at times unflattering poses due to feeling self-conscious.

In this workshop, I aim to do a bit of a hands on demonstration of how to get someone with no modelling experience, who feels self conscious to absolutely shine in front of the lens. At the end of the day, we all want to secretly feel like the sexiest person on earth - so come and see some ways to help people do just that!

We will be using natural light so as to ensure that there are no technical difficulties from Eskom or technology, and so that you are able to shoot while I'm shooting. Be sure to bring:

• A notepad and pen to take notes (if you are the note taking type)
• Your camera and a few suitable lenses for portrait photography. Please don't bring super telephoto lenses however as there is only so much space. A 50mm or so will do perfectly
• SD cards for your camera
• A bottle of water

Please take note that the event will be held at my home to keep costs down for you. Therefore, there are only 5 spots available. Should there be a lot of interest, I will happily move the event to a venue and open up more spaces.
