FASHION WORKSHOP SERIES with Vincent Sung (and guest photographers)

Workshops Concept:

The Fashion Photography Workshops intend to provide the possibility to both professional and non-professional photographers to produce a Fashion portfolio, producing images with the high standard required by international Advertising Agencies, Fashion Magazines and Model Agencies

Workshops Structure:

The Workshops are structured on different sessions that approach the various aspects of Fashion Photography.

Every session has a theme such as Beauty, Studio Fashion, Location Fashion and Glamour.

In each session the photographers will learn the theory and practical approaches that stand behind the production of Fashion Photography.

Every session of the Workshop is organized with the cooperation of professionals such as

Fashion Stylist, Make-up Artist, Hair-Stylist and Fashion Models who will provide a high standard in the result of the final images.

The photographers will be involved in the whole process of the Fashion Shooting.

They will learn the Theory and the Technics of the Fashion Set, the reasons and goals behind that. Moreover they will learn how to structure an effective and professional Lighting Scheme, how to use accessories useful to the specific needs.

Once the models look has been completed they will have time to produce their own images, under the supervision of a professional teacher.

The images produced by the photographers will be discussed in “working progress” in order to understand the mistakes and improve the final results.

Workshops Program:

The full course of Workshops includes six sessions to be held on different dates, usually on the weekends or weekdays (schedule can be arranged following individual needs).

The photographers who apply to attend the Workshops can freely decide to participate to all the sessions (package solution) or to just only one of their choice (single solution) but note that it would be recommended to take the 6 workshops to get a complete basic fashion portfolio and substantial discounts

1 – Beauty-shooting with “commercial” approach.

In this session the goal is to understand and learn the Theory and Techniques in order to produce

Beauty images with a “classical-commercial” approach which could be used by a Cosmetics Company. The photographers will learn how to build a “light-cage” scheme.

2 – Beauty-shooting with “editorial” approach.

The photographers will learn how to produce Beauty images with an “editorial flavor” which could be used by a Fashion Magazine. In this session the lighting scheme will be produced and managed by using contrast lightings.

3 – Fashion-shooting in studio “look-book” approach.

The photographers will learn how to create and deal with a “white-background” environment and lighting scheme in order to produce images for a Fashion look-book (with a picked fashion brand)

4 – Fashion-shooting in studio “editorial” approach.

The goal of this session is to learn and manage a shooting set in order to produce images which could be used for a Fashion Magazine Editorial or for a Fashion Company Advertising Campaign.

5 – Glamour-shooting in studio “fashion approach”.

In this session the photographers will learn the Theory and Technics in order to produce Glamour images with a “fashion approach”. The goal is to enhance the sex appeal of the model keeping an elegant fashion look.

6 – Fashion or Glamour-shooting on location (exterior or indoor at hotel, etc.)

In this final session the photographers will learn how to deal with an outdoor Fashion set, how to handle the existing light situations and how to produce emotional Fashion images by using the atmosphere of the outdoor locations.
