Posing Workshop

One of the many things we do to stay on top of our game in the photography world is participate in local workshops. I attended a posing workshop put on by Pierre's Portrait Art Co. here in Madison weekend. In the class we learned different posing techniques to help 'Wow' your subjects. They also had a few models there for us to shoot and practice with.

I didn't get to shoot too much as I missed part of the class due to another engagement. So when I came back in the afternoon I volunteered to be a model. This way I was able to learn some of the things I missed by having other photographers instruct me on how to pose. Sometimes it is fun to be on the opposite end of the camera (if you want to see shots of me as a 'model', you will have to add me as a friend on Facebook).

Here are a few shots I took at this event.
