Newborn photography is growing every day, offering an exciting avenue for artistic expression. However, mastering this craft requires hard work, commitment, and a wealth of experience.
Whether you are a beginner or an intermediate/advanced photographer, I invite you to join me for a full-day photography workshop that will unlock your creativity and inspire innovation. A practical and enlightening experience meant to teach you how to safely capture the delicate beauty of infants and convey genuine emotion in every shot.
From using the correct camera settings and lighting to posing and editing, I’ll show you step-by-step how to manage a newborn photo shoot. We will photograph 3 babies, and I will assist you in capturing the best angles. You will also learn to handle challenging infants who resist sleeping or experience colic.
If you’re eager to delve into the world of newborn photography, this is the perfect opportunity for you. I will answer any business or general questions you may have.
At the end of the training session, we will edit 2 images and I will show you my usual post-processing workflow. You also receive a recorded video of the editing process, as well as the actions and presets I created and I work with. In addition, all of the images you capture during the workshop can be used in your own portfolio.
