“I wanted to announce a 2-day photography workshop in Los Angeles on May 14 and 15. I’m really glad to have Aria Giovanni and friends as the models for the workshop. This is a rare opportunity to spend two days photographing Aria Giovanni.

Workshop Content:
- 12 lighting scenarios demonstrated and made simple
- learn how to use a concept to create artistic glamour images
- learn how to evoke emotions and expressions from models
- learn the secret of model posing
- I will be available to answer your questions all day long

You will get to shoot 6 looks each day, so there will be plenty of shooting time to create unbelievable images. There’s no better way to create images at this level for your portfolio.

Rarely is there access to this level of models. You get an opportunity to shoot 1-on-1 with each model on each set. This is not a shoot out. You will learn how to build rapport with each model to maximize the beauty of the images you will create.

This workshop will include nudity at the level of Playboy and Mystique Magazine. We will be shooting a wide variety of wardrobe ranging from fashion to lingerie to fantasy looks. This will all be done at an amazing Los Angeles location, used by all the major adult magazines.

The number of attendees is strictly limited to ensure maximum shooting time. I expect this workshop to sell out quickly.
