Description

The Basics draws on my 12+ years of toy photography to bring you everything you need to create your own creative and powerful toy photos.

We'll Explore

Each week I will provide you with a photo challenge based on one of the skills you will need to master when photographing toys/ 

We will explore the following:

    • Posing and support
    • Outdoor vs studio photos
    • Basic lighting
    • Special effects
    • Beginning storytelling

There will be presentations and plenty of time for questions. You will receive feedback and reflections from me as well as your fellow participants. My goal is to help you create a strong foundation for your own toy photo journey.

Personal Enrichment

Besides learning all about toy photography through hands on experience, you will be introduced to skills and best practices that will help you grow your photo skills. 

Skills:

  • Composition
  • Manual camera settings
  • Cinematic lighting
  • Color theory

Photography is a skill that can be used in many ways. In this workshop you will use your toys to learn basic photography skills but also storytelling. Two skills that can be used in a variety of situations, both personal and professional. 

What They Say

"I enjoyed the pace of this workshop. I liked that I could use the first week to think about and research the [challenge] and the second week to work on and create the scene.
