8.00 – 10.00 PREPARATION, THEORY OF NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY
We start by discussing general principles of photography and working with a newborn. We will prepare the set ups, studio, equipment and I will show some important things about camera settings and light.
We will discuss safety rules of working with a newborn and how to prepare yourself and your clients for the meeting. I will show you what rules to follow when creating set ups and how to boost your creativity with props that will save you money and time. I will introduce you to the principles of composition in newborn photography and the ways of framing.
10.00 – 16.00 NEWBORN SESSIONS:
The photoshoots is the most important part of our meeting. I will focus on showing you as precisely as possible how to position the baby, how to put them to sleep and how to calm them down, how to make smooth transitions between props and poses to make the session run smoothly. My goal is to teach you a workflow that will keep the time of the newborn session to a minimum, but also allow you to develop a diverse gallery of images for your clients. There will be short breaks during this part – we will schedule them with breaks for feeding, changing and rearranging. I will show you what my workflow looks like and what makes my job easier:
- positioning in props
- positioning on a positioning table / beanbag
- photos with parents / photos with siblings
16.00- 18.00 RETOUCHING / CUSTOMER SERVICE AND BUSINESS:
We will conclude the practical part of the newborn photography workshop by discussing issues such as:
- file management, photo editing (Lightroom, Photoshop)
- calendar and client contact management marketing
- session debriefing
- session-related questions
