LOCATION FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY MASTER CLASSES USA TOUR
May and June 2008
3 DAYS ON HOW TO SHOOT LOCATION FASHION
Location Fashion Photography Master Classes using luxurious Villas, the city, down towns, deserts, mountains and the local beaches etc as locations in New York, Vancouver, LA, Miami.
There will be 2 fabulous professional full time fashion models for you to shoot, along with my support team of professional hair and make up artist and stylist, to ensure the models look and are styled wearing up-to the minute fashions so they will look their very best.
Each day, we will cover various photography techniques, using both the indoor and outdoor locations.
These will give a good variety of both backgrounds and lighting situations, each with technical challenges that Bruce will help you to overcome with instruction, hints and valuable tips to get the best out of each location and the models.
Bruce much prefers to use available light but when it's needed he will show you his techniques of interiors flash and fill-in flash. He will also demonstrate how to get the best shots when using reflectors and diffusion screens.
He will take you out location scouting, to give you an insight into choosing the best locations that suit the needs of different types of photography shoots, such as fashion, lingerie, beauty and swim wear.
You will receive one to one and group tuition in all aspects of shooting fashion photography on location, and where better than in some of the most beautiful locations in the World.
You will learn so much and capture some fabulous fashion pictures for your portfolio.
Bruce will be at hand to give you guidance to ensure you go home with some valuable experience plus the best possible pictures.
There will also be a Photoshop expert available to give you tuition in fashion Photoshop techniques. (Extra $249 per student)
Shot by Keith Clouston on location in London using just available light and reflectors. This was shot after Keith had done my Tuscany Location Master Class.
!!! Bruce taught me some great techniques with natural light (something I rarely ever used before that point). With what I learnt on the course, I am now a big fan of natural light and will use it when I get the chance to. Not often at the moment, considering its winter.... but I'm just itching for when spring roles around. Bring on the reflectors! Cool!!! Keith (krcimages)

Fee includes:
Tutoring fees include all tuition for the 3 days, model fees, stylist’s fees, and hair and make up fees, part of the location fees and location transport.
Each student will pay their own transport to where we stay plus their own accommodation and food. In past experience due to a my high expected standards for locations and for accommodation and great meals for my shoots, I would allow c$100 per night acc based upon 2 sharing twin rooms, and c$75 per day for breakfast lunch and dinner.
I have based the costing around 16 delegates and doing this class to its very best, having every one staying together in an hotel, house or villa for the 4 nights. (Not compulsory if you live very locally but an extra fee towards the cost of location fees will be added). Non accommodation location fees, professional model fees, pro stylist fees, pro hair and make up artists fees, transport during the class, tuition fees etc for the period of the class.
I much prefer that every one stay in the same place for team building reasons. Staying and using a house, a villa, hotel etc as the location is best, if we are staying and paying, most places are only to pleased to allow us to shoot on the premises and in the grounds free of charge. I find its the same if we eat our lunch in a place that can be used as a location the cost of c20 lunches is enough to make them agree to let us shoot there. Places like sports clubs etc.
This master class is open to amateur and professional photographers of levels intermediate to advanced.
Reviews of your finished images will take place after the master class is completed using my fashion photography forum.
This program is the most effective for such a master class, leaving the best time for shooting and post class time for reviewing.
I will be at hand during all waking hours of the tour for personal reviews of your images shot during the class, I will also be available post the tour online on the forum for reviewing of your image post production.
