via Skillshare

Overview

So you’ve picked up some photography skills from recruiting reluctant friends to model or from experimenting with self portraits... now you're asking yourself: 

How do I take my photography to the next level?

I can help with that! This step-by-step course is filled with the tips and tricks needed to get working on your first ever street style photo shoot with a model.

Creating street style photography is so much more than just snapping a few photos of a pretty model. There's a lot of preparation needed to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the day. That's what you'll learn in these lessons.

In this class, you'll learn how to:

  • Create a moodboard and find inspiration for the photo shoot

  • Find a great photoshoot location

  • Work with agency models

  • Style your shoot from scratch, or work with a stylist and team

  • Have a smooth shoot day and get some incredible photographs

  • Share your images with your collaborators and the world!

This class is mostly focused on the pre-production of your first shoot. This class is not:

  • An editing class, you can find that here
  • A class on camera settings and how to use your camera
  • A detailed look at how to pose or direct a model

Suitable for all photographers who are new to working with models, or new to street style and/or fashion photography in general.
