Feather Love Photography: Artist Workshop (1 day intensive)

There are many incredible technical photography workshops out there (in fact I can recommend some!) but THIS one will be focused more on inspiration, finding your own style & voice in the wedding industry, and being fulfilled as an artist. It’s going to be different and unique to any other photography workshop out there. I have compiled many questions I have been receiving from photographers and put together a talk to cover all those questions. This will NOT be some class on how to make your work look like Feather Love; Instead, it WILL be an inspiring talk and shoot that will help give direction on how to find your OWN unique style and voice, and also on how to do so unapologetically! : ) I strongly believe that each artist has their own path and that sometimes they need to be introduced to their own potential. If you lose your entire grip on reality when you see an incredible f’ing photo, and you want your OWN work to give you that same feeling- this workshop is for you! I went to an excellent workshop in the past and it fully propelled me into my art & my business, and I would love to pay that forward…

4pm- 7pm shoot

I will have a crazy cool ‘surprise’ shoot with a couple to show you how I work, how I engage my clients, & how I come up with ideas etc.

7pm-8pm dinner & more questions

FAQ’s:

Can we bring cameras? Yes you can bring whatever camera you like, and take photos during the workshop. But I will be the only one shooting the couple session, if we try to shoot the session as a group we’ll be stepping on each others toes & compromising our shots ; ) After the workshop, I will post one photo on my blog from each guest with a link to your site if you choose to take any pictures during the workshop. (YOU pick the photo you want to submit).

Do you have a cat? I’m allergic. Yes I do have a cat.

Do I need to be a pro photographer? Or what if I’m just starting out? You can be a beginner or a pro. Again this is not so much a technical workshop as it is an artist’s workshop. That means, if you feel the BURN to create beautiful photos from your heart, you belong here.

Then, this thing happened: Nerve.com, one of my favorite sites for intellectual, funny, sexy, pop culture content (not to mention incredible art by the best photographers) offered to do a special feature on my Boudoir session for Sonny. (NSFW). If you want to take a look, here’s a promotional sign-in user/pass combo (since it’s featured in the Premium Members section).

I highly recommend you browse the rest of the Nerve.com site, if you aren’t already familiar with it, it’s super entertaining! Sign-up. Srsly they don’t get 1.5 million readers per month for no reason… Click on the pics below & sign in with the promo username/password above to go right to the (NSFW) feature….

I had copious amounts of fun on this shoot, Sonny was incredible to work with.  She had already hired me to shoot her wedding, so I was EXTRA excited when she asked for a boudoir shoot.  She’s stunning, open to ideas, easy to work with, fun, and sexy as all hell! We had a blast.

This was shot entirely on my property and was fully influenced by the photographic art from the early 1970’s Playboy/Penthouse magazines… one of my favorite era/genre combos. I styled much of the shoot too, and loved the opportunity to put some of the many good vintage items & accessories I own to use.
