Melissa Rodwell THE BREED workshop

March 26 & 27   STUDIO V in Oklahoma City will host international fashion photographer and Geekoto Ambassador Melissa Rodwell!

We will begin our workshop with nationally known agency testing and fashion photographer Steve Ellinger, CPP. Steve will present an overview on what agency testing is, how to get started with agencies, and all of the do’s and don’ts with working with models and agencies. It’s the most comprehensive program of its type in the United States. As part of his program, Ellinger will present a guest speaker(s) that will offer first-hand insight on what agencies want to see, and perhaps more importantly what they do not want to see. Included in the morning’s presentation are discussions on the history of fashion photography, lighting techniques, how to properly crop and present, the basics of doing proper portfolios, how to get “the look”, and how to sell yourself to agencies. The morning program will be a lead-in to an afternoon of fast-paced shooting with two very experienced agency models.

After a short break, we will start shooting around noon! I will then step in and explain the lighting setups we will have set up for you & why I use these setups continuously on my own editorial and advertising assignments. There will be 2 models with 4 looks each and multiple shooting stations with various light setups to optimize multiple images for your portfolio! Think of this as a Portfolio Building Day mixed with our previous exclusive Advanced Lighting Workshop! You get both in two days!
