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. tracyaiguier.com

 

Sessions: June 14th, 21th, 28th & July 12th
