Workshop instructor Adam Chilson (MM#19554) creates his jaw-dropping imagery through the lens, using little and often zero Photoshop or digital post-editing, and teaches from this perspective.

Examples of instructor Adam Chilson's recent images - explorations of fire and water.
Single exposure, through the lens photography - ZERO post manipulation or compositing.

The studio lighting workshop series focuses on controlled lighting techniques for portrait and artistic nude photography, along with set-building elements to create eye-catching images.
Each full-day workshop combines demonstration and discussion of lighting setups with hands-on practice, and multiple shooting sets with fine art models.

Workshops include full makeup and styling by Lisa Berczel (Battledress Paint-n-Body, MM#47292) to complete the polished look of the images shot within the class.

A few photos....

We ended up with an almost-full class, and I did minimal shooting through the day. I know the workshop participants have many more really fantastic shots from the day's sets, and I hope we'll see some of them posted here! Smile

Couple more shots from the "flying fabric" sets.

I know that our participants walked away with some really amazing images. Mine are by no means the strongest images to come from these sets - just a few that I took to show as examples of the ideas.

Greg, thank you! I've always leaned toward the "tilted camera" compositions, especially to add interest where there's a lot of negative space/background around a standing model. Smile

And you have some really excellent shots there. Thank you so much for posting and sharing them! It's a lot of fun to see some of the images that come out of the workshop sets!

Nice shot, Harold - a good strong "work safe" or "avatar safe" image, with a great expression! Thank you for sharing this!
