“To me, photography is an art of observation.
It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place …
I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” (Elliott Erwitt)

Lifestyle is not: just a more relaxed, casual version of the traditional portrait.
Lifestyle is: imagery that captures actual, real, authentic moments in life.
There are pretty pictures. And there are important pictures. (I first learned this distinction when it was penned by Anna Kuperberg, and it sunk down deep in my soul.) I believe lifestyle images are important. Meaningful. Beautiful. Profound.
As different as lifestyle pictures are from traditional portraiture, so too is the business model necessarily different. In this workshop, we will cover it all, and especially the differences: showcasing, shooting, selling/pricing, packaging … and all the little details along the way: scheduling, brainstorming, client-prep, the question of posing/styling (spoiler: the answer is “no”), putting clients at ease, and difficult lighting situations. Our workshop time will be split between classroom teaching and a hands-on family photography session. We will be a small but mighty group (very limited group size), which will leave plenty of space for individual attention and the ability to ask questions as we go.
