Fashion in the Hills Photography Workshop

Photographers, Models and Artist,

Welcome to the first edition of the annual Fashion in the Hills photography workshop! Get inspired by nature at the Organic Art Ranch.

Rain or fog, sun or clouds, we will all gather at the Organic Art Ranch at 18.00 in the evening. You will be guided by Roger, an experienced fashion photographer with over 20 years of experience in the German fashion industry. You will learn and practice making fashion portraits in nature. We will be using natures many faces and lighting conditions, we will combine its picturesque mountain backgrounds with fashion creativity and imagination.

Keep in mind that the idea of this meeting is to help each other by teaching and learning from one another through photography. The topic is fashion and nature, we will discuss these two aspects and discover ways that they fit together. At the same time photographers will be models and models will be photographers. If you design clothes, bring them and find a model for them!

Let’s have fun and makes some nice pictures!

Date: 6-8 May 2016.

Schedule:

Friday: We get to know each other talk about our ideas and plans of photography. There will be some hot soup for all waiting at the house. We will arrange the sleeping spots, inside or in a tent.

Saturday: Shoot all day until the sun goes down and then more. The idea is to break off in groups and use the people and the nature around us to make fashion images. There will be a midday break for lunch and the groups will rearrange to get a better diversity.
In the evening more eating and more talking, fun, playing some music (bring your instruments!)

Sunday: Looking at the photos together, discussions, and goodbye brunch.
