Click Away 2018

Learn to document newborns in the hospital, the studio, and at home with a focus on using light, composition, and honest emotion to create art that tells a unique story to each family. From creating a calming environment in the hospital, to capturing authenticity at home, and using simple posing for studio sessions, you'll learn that it's possible to document newborns in a variety of ways while keeping a cohesive brand. We will pose live subjects (a family) in a lifestyle environment, as well as go through natural posing of newborns for studio sessions with the use of a doll. Experience with newborns is not required, but photographers should be comfortable shooting in manual mode and have a basic understanding of light.
