The Boudoir Workshop

via CreativeLive

Overview

Join Christa Meola for a hands-on workshop on the art and business of boudoir photography. Learn what you need to know about lighting and equipment, shooting on location and in the studio, building strong client relationships, posing, post-production, pricing, and much more.

The agenda includes hotly debated topics, business strategy, Q and A sessions, portfolio critiques, and a series of live shoots. Take a front-row seat with Christa as she demonstrates how to work with women from figure models to everyday clients. Watch as she relaxes stiff subjects, coaches natural movement, and captures gorgeous moments that allow each woman's unique personality and beauty to shine.

This workshop is perfect if you want to learn all aspects of the boudoir market, whether you are just getting started or you are already an experienced photographer ready to take your business to the next level.
