We’re back in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area with a special three-day mansion workshop from Friday through Sunday, June 11-13 and will also private shoots on Monday the 14th until 2 p.m. This is our second mansion shoot with our first a sold-out success! This workshop is limited in size and we’re featuring six gorgeous nude models. For those that want extra, semi-private instruction, featuring a special guest plus Rolando, we have Weds. and Thursday (9th & 10th) available too. These are two separate workshops.

The workshop and semi-private instruction is open to photographers of all levels, beginners to advanced. We’ll have a small lecture, hands-on, then we shoot, shoot, shoot, six talented models, teams of two photographers with at least one-hour rotations for each model for three days.

Here are the particulars:

1. You must pay for your own lodging and travel, we’ll provide suggestions.

2. Bring your camera, preferrably a DSLR. It must have a hotshoe (where you flash slides on top) or as a minimum, a pc connection for our studio flash–we provide all equipment.

3. You must have the passion to photograph up to six beautiful models and patient enough for them to change into wardrobe and have their make-up done by a professional. The type of photography is glamour and nude photography for most models. You’ll photograph them in all their beauty, from glamour to glamour nude.

4. While it’s intense, we’ll have fun in this educational experience. We’ll provide lunch, you provide the coffee if you need it, but surely bring some Red Bull for energy because this is an energized workshop.

5. Camera requirements are any type of camera, preferably 35mm DSLR or SLR, medium or large format is optional. Lens focal range, from 24mm to 200mm, though a typical 70-200mm lens is all you need. A back-up drive to download your images every evening and/orlaptop computer is highly recommended. If you have a Sony camera, please ensure you have a hot shoe adapter or PC connection.

6. Professionalism is required, we’re there to capture beautiful images of beautiful models. If you have Pocket Wizard remotes, bring them too, though not required as we’ll have our own radio triggers. We’ll work with beauty dishes, softboxes, reflectors and more, all provided by us!
