  WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A MALE BODY BUILDER, A FEMALE DANCER AND A HORSE?  

 WHY, MAKE FINE ART PORTRAITS WITH THEM OF COURSE!   I invite you to share in my vision!
 I have had this concept in my mind for awhile now and its time to do it! We will be working together posing the models and exploring lighting them with studio lighting against backdrops and barn walls.

Lots of Q & A opportunity during the photo sessions and the class room.

 Most images straight out of the camera are only potential and they are just waiting to bloom into something beautiful once they have been subjected to the post processing enhancements of powerful software tools such as Photoshop.  
An additional session featuring work in Photoshop will be available as an option.    We hope that you can attend this session as we will be focusing on tips to help give your images that extra boost to extraordinary!
Note: Participants in the Photoshop session must bring a laptop with Photoshop installed to experience hands on learning.  If you will not be able to work in Photoshop, you can attend this segment as an auditor, or join an alternate session that will be designed based on the needs of those participants without laptop.
