NEW: Basic Photography for Fashion Designer
with professional
photographer Tracy Aiguier
This workshop is designed
to give the upcoming fashion designer the skills and
understanding necessary to execute a successful fashion
photo shoot, be it on their own or when hiring a team of
professionals. The class will discuss the various trends
and styles of fashion photography, basic photographic
techniques used, and communicating with models, makeup
artists, hair stylists, and photographers to achieve the
photos that best show off their designs.
The class will spend time
on lighting and posing demonstrations, both in the
studio and on location, giving the designer the
opportunity to play the part of the photographer as well
as the model. Working with the instructor’s guidance,
all participants will be required to put together their
very own photo shoot, which will then be critiqued at
the final review class.
A graduate of the Art
Institute of Boston, Tracy Aiguier has been shooting
fashion and portraits in the Boston area for close to 20
years. She has shot national catalogs, covers and
editorial spreads for both local and national magazines,
CD covers, as well as look books, advertising and
websites for many local fashion designers, and
retailers.

Eleven Minutes
will be shown as part of Boston's Independent
Film Festival. If winning Bravo's Project Runway fashion
design competition only grants you 15 minutes of fame,
imagine the overwhelming anxiety and terror of using 11
of those minutes to reveal your soul to the world
through fashion. ELEVEN MINUTES chronicles a year in the
life of designer and first-ever Project Runway winner
Jay McCarroll as he prepares for his first runway show
at Bryant Park's famed Fashion Week. Incredibly candid
and surprisingly raw, this fast-paced, intimate
documentary exposes not only the harsh realities of the
industry, but the inconvenient truth that even if you
are able to compete in and win a popular reality-show
competition, you still can't easily gain the respect of
the demanding fashion elite.
This movie is playing:
Monday, April 28th @ 8:30 PM at the Somerville Theater
