Workshop Overview:
 

We are so excited to invite you to a new workshop hosted at our space. The Boudoir Posing Workshop hosted by Nicole Nu is a combination of lecture and hands-on learning. Attendees will be learning about:

• proper etiquette when posing clients/models

• how to work with potential client/model posing limitations

• how to work out a pose flow: what is it and how to do it

• how to direct clients/models

• pose variations: examples and what to watch out for

• different camera angles and what they can do/achieve

• pose inspiration and practice time with one-on-one direction from Nicole, herself 

​

Attendees will practice modelling and posing as well as directing and photographing the second half of the workshop. While modelling/posing is not required, it is highly recommended that attendees participate in this aspect of the workshop. 

 

Attendees are encouraged to bring one wardrobe item that they would like to pose and be photographed in (bodysuit, matching bra and underwear set, tank and jeans, etc). 

​

After this class, you will leave:

• feeling more confident and comfortable with posing a client/model

• knowing different poses you can do/try with a client/model

• feeling like you can complete a session with a client/model without feeling anxious about different poses or how to do them

​

• Photographers with little or no boudoir experience

• Intermediate and advanced boudoir photographers new to boudoir

• Anyone wanting to know more about posing techniques before getting started in boudoir photography
