"Vision+Inspiration" Workshop Series: PORTLAND
2022-03-19 14:00 - 18:00 (America/Vancouver)
PORTLAND PHOTOGRAPHERS
There are dozens of lighting classes you can take, plenty of YouTube videos about how lighting works (more or less) and the list goes on and on. This is why Freyja and I have created the “Vision+Inspiration” Workshop Series, catering to the inner artist in each and every photographer.
Technique? Sure, of course. Lighting techniques are key tools in your creative arsenal. But we take it many steps further, discussing the most important elements of art creation: Vision, Inspiration, Mood and Artistry.
How do you define what you do? What do you see in your mind’s eye, and how do you guy about creating it? What inspires you to create? How can you exploit technique and technology in a masterful way so you can execute your vision without arbitrary obstacles? We will show you how.
Come join us, and leave inspired and empowered to take your art and skills to levels you didn’t think possible.
Highly limited in photographer seats to ensure hyper-focused learning and convenient access to me, this is the perfect investment to advance your skills and career. Hands on learning, so bring your camera and lenses.
What you can expect:

Small class size
Detailed lighting and shooting training
Discussion about how to find inspiration, and execute your vision
Posing considerations
Professional venues / studios
Business discussion
Direct Q&A throughout

Your investment into one of our workshops will yield you full detailed instruction on everything we do together in studio.

About Nino:

“Beauty is beauty, and often frighteningly subjective. However, the perception of strength is directly objective. When an image comes across as strong, as powerful, there is something more to the shot than simply beauty. For me, beauty is the delivery as I enjoy experiencing it, but strength is the intent as I enjoy capturing it.”
Ron “Nino” Batista is a photographer, writer, musician and overall creative whose work is regularly seen in lifestyle publications the world over. He is regarded as the premier model photography, retouching and artist development coaching educator based in the United States.

Unguarded Workshop: Katie Lowry-Tisler
2023-09-23 - 2023-09-24 | Embrace Boudoir & Glamour Studio, Akron, OH, United States
A workshop dedicated to the pure joy of creating. A workshop that amplifies the voices of marginalized bodies, empowering them to tell their own unique stories through art. This will be an intimate 2-3 day experience where they will be immersed in the world of authentic connections and meaningful conversations with subjects/clients.
As we delve into in-depth conversations during the morning sessions, we’ll explore the rich tapestry of personal narratives and identities. The afternoons will be devoted to individual time with clients. On the next day, two additional clients will join us for individual sessions, providing the opportunity to build portfolios with guidance to create authentic, impactful art.
The third optional day will feature image sharing, editing mentoring, a live photoshoot demo, pricing guidance, and invaluable business-related insights to elevate your photography journey.
All of our models are marginalized bodies & we are learning how to create THEIR stories. All attendees will have the option of submitting their work from the workshop into a future art show that will be held in Ohio representing marginalized bodies.
As photographers, we have a huge opportunity to change the world and societal standards, and this workshop is a step to learning how to create authentic work and show bodies that deserve representation.
Limited seats available.

You Can't Photoshop Trauma with Niki Schaller
2023-09-29 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York)
You Can’t Photoshop Trauma:
Improving the Boudoir Experience for Trauma- Affected Clients
Clients presenting for boudoir photography are frequently harboring underlying trauma from critical events in their lives. This trauma can manifest during or around the time of their sessions in a number of different ways; some more obvious than others.
In this session, Niki will discuss types of trauma-responses in boudoir clients and aims to help participants be able to identify risk leading up to a session and recognize these behaviors at the time of an appointment and predict the consequences of an unmanaged response.
She will suggest methods that participants can utilize in order to respond appropriately to their clients in their time of need.
It is Niki’s hope that by implementing these strategies, webinar participants will be more capable of guiding their clients effectively through a trauma response to have a great session and leave feeling safe and empowered.

Technique? Sure, of course. Lighting techniques are key tools in your creative arsenal, and I will go over all of my favorite ones, showing the “why” and not just the “how”. But I also take it many steps further, discussing the truly important elements of art creation: vision, inspiration, mood and artistry.
How do you define what you do? What do you see in your mind’s eye, and how do you guy about creating it? What inspires you to create? How can you exploit technique and technology in a masterful way so you can execute your vision without arbitrary obstacles? I will show you my approach.
Highly limited in photographer seats to ensure hyper-focused learning and convenient access to me, this is the perfect investment to advance your skills and career. Hands on learning, so bring your camera and lenses!
