Studio photography I believe is frequently overlooked, underrated, and misunderstood by many photographers. I'm hoping to make this more comfortable and useful thru shoots focusing on aspects of planning, styling, and lighting the model shot. Sharing practical setups and artistic composition ideas is what Fine Art/Glam Foto Shooters is all about. This meetup group welcomes photographers of many levels but there is a camera requirement. Yours must have a hot shoe capable of tripping studio ligh …

This group was inspired by the hundreds of workshops I have given all over the US. Photographers were asking for ways to build their portfolios with high quality images and unique concepts. They were running out of ideas / did not have ideas, could not find models, locations or sets and were hitting a wall. After all a photography web-site filled with photos of your dog or your own children might not say "professional" in a way you want it to. This is what we will do here. The instructors will a …
