Interactive Posing Join us for a fun, interactive approach to posing. This will be a hands-on learning experience, so come ready to find your way to better posing. We will pose a variety of body shapes and sizes to discover how to accentuate positive attributes and diminish "problem" areas. Find out how to build rapport through our demonstration of different ways we communicate with our clients. Learn what we call the “3 B's of posing women" and the idea of "body blocking". Your clients look to you to make them look their best. Your goal is to get the most relaxed and flattering look for them—now find finesse with Interactive Posing.

GETTING CREATIVE WITH LENSBABY Whether you photograph nature, people or places, Lensbaby lenses and optics can help get you out of your creative comfort zone and out of the “technically correct” box to give your images a different look and feel right out of the camera. In this session, Jamie will share how she uses these creative tools to express her vision in ways that standard lenses simply do not. While her passion for subjects includes flowers, nature, landscapes, still lifes and smaller stories, you’ll learn how these same unique tools can be used in other genres such as weddings and portraits. Learn how Lensbaby can push boundaries of interpretation and expression in your own work in a fun and challenging way.
