Fashion, Concept, Beauty Staged

Kristen Hatgi & Mark Sink: Untitled

In this workshop students explore staged fashion with an emphasis on romantic, subtle beauty. The workshop will experience working with a model, styling, poses, mood, movement, wardrobe, and staging within an environment.  All cameras and output types are encouraged. Through working together on location and sharing ideas, students discover new ways to think about how both pre-conceptualizing and letting chance happen can make amazing images.

Requirements: Bring you own camera(s). Digital, film, pinhole, or anything you can make a picture with. Some experimental cameras (pinhole, Lensbaby, Polaroid, paper negative, will be available for students to use in addition to their own cameras.
