On Camera Confidence for Dancers.
Do you shy away from photoshoots? Do you feel as though you aren’t photogenic? Do you feel uncomfortable in front of a camera?
Or maybe you do feel comfortable, but you are ready to level up your skills to take your photoshoots to the next level?
If the answer to any of those questions was “Yes” or “I think so”, then this workshop weekend is for you!
What to Expect
“I’m not photogenic”.
“I am so awkward in front of a camera.”
“I don’t know how to position my body.”
I’ve heard all of these and so many different ways more times than I can count. And THIS is this is the reason I created this photography experience for dancers.
On Camera Confidence for Dancers is a 2-day training session designed to teach you all the skills you need to be more confidence and look like the dancer that you are on camera.
❋ Guided posing and self confidence workshop
You’ll learn how to look and feel confident when shooting. A professional model and posing coach will be there to lead you through the motions of your body and facial expressions to get to a zone of comfort.
❋ Studio test shooting
You’ll be able to express yourself directly in a professional photo studio, to help you feel less awkward when you are the focus in the camera.
❋ Makeup guidance
A professional makeup artist will teach you how to enhance your natural look through simple tactics. This will be directed both to men and women to help them prepare before any shoot or your next performance.
❋ A supportive space
This event prioritizes comfort, safety, and respect, so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.
❋ Professional guided photoshoot
Sunday will focus on using everything that you’ve learned and applying it in reality. Each participant will get a 30 minute outdoor* photo-session in an iconic Parisian location.
