This workshop will help you better understand how to work with these key elements. During shooting sessions you will learn how to “design” your images using natural lighting, equipment and post-processing techniques. We will discuss how to communicate your ideas to effectively work with and direct models. We will also talk about where to find inspiration for poses and how to encourage great expressions. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Confirmed Models include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.modelmayhem.com/467982" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(166, 0, 0); "&gt;Iveta Niklova&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.modelmayhem.com/732910" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(166, 0, 0); "&gt;Colleen Deary&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CULTIVATING A UNIQUE STYLE&lt;/strong&gt;  June 27 - July 3&lt;br /&gt;Your own unique style does not happen by accident, it must be developed over time and grow as you gain confidence and experience in your photography. In this workshop you will be challenged to explore and investigate styles and approaches you may not be familiar with. We will discuss and shoot various genres and techniques in fine art figure photography that can help you further refine your own style. By expanding your experiences, you can clearly focus on building up and advancing your own work. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;Confirmed Models include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.modelmayhem.com/56144" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(166, 0, 0); "&gt;Giorgia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.modelmayhem.com/1263429" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(166, 0, 0); "&gt;Magena Yama&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:12px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-weight: bold; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 1.3em; color: rgb(166, 0, 0); "&gt;Workshop Highlights&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul style="list-style-type: square; margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 2em; "&gt;&lt;li&gt;We will stay at a beautiful Tuscan bed and breakfast in the middle of the Val d’Orcia.
