Fashion and Beauty Photography

Fashion and Beauty photography are two specializations where you have free range of creativity. In this course, you'll get to learn from industry-expert Loesje Kessels, and her years of experience working with Dior, Fendi, L'Oreal, Ralph Lauren, Estée Lauder, and many more.

Choice of lighting, developing a concept, mood, posing, model choice, and location are all open to your creative interpretation. Here, we explore the different creative choices we can make to create stunning images, and revisit photography 'rules' from Photography Level 1 and Level 2, learning how to deliberately break them.

Experiment with focus, lens choice, and manipulating objects —  all while shooting with creative lighting through color gels, building gobos, creating hard and soft light, using a projector, and much more.

Lastly, you will come up with your own creative fashion photography idea, create a mood-board, and execute the shoot. At the end of this workshop, you will leave feeling fueled by creative inspiration, as well as selection of portfolio-worthy images.
