with Guest Instructor LOURDES P
(+20yrs Fashion Design Professional & Model)
A portfolio-building workshop involving 10 photographers and 10 models offers a dynamic platform for mutual learning and collaboration. Here's a brief outline of what such a workshop might entail:
​
1. Introduction and Networking: The workshop kicks off with introductions where photographers and models get to know each other. This sets the tone for collaboration and establishes a comfortable atmosphere for the creative process.
​
2. Workshop Goals and Expectations: Understand the basics and upskill to the intermediate level. Understand beyond the rule of thirds. Basic lighting setups. Communications between Photographers & Models. Emphasizing the importance of constructive feedback, learning, and building strong portfolios for both photographers and models.
​
3. Collaborative Photoshoots: Participants are paired up, with each photographer working with a model. They brainstorm ideas, select locations, props, and wardrobe, and execute photoshoots based on each other's preferences and styles.
​
4. Feedback and Review Sessions: After each photoshoot, participants gather to review the images captured. This step helps identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. They offer feedback on composition, lighting, posing, and overall effectiveness in conveying the intended message or mood.
​
5. Editing and Post-Processing: Photographers edit and post-process the selected images from the photoshoots, refining them to achieve the desired aesthetic. Models may also provide input on image selection and editing to ensure their portfolio reflects their versatility and personality.
​
6. Networking and Collaboration Opportunities: The workshop concludes with networking opportunities for participants to connect, exchange contact information, and explore potential collaborations beyond the workshop.
​
Such a portfolio-building workshop fosters creativity, skill development, and collaboration among photographers and models, ultimately helping them enhance their portfolios and advance their careers in the industry.
