About the event

Short Intro

Hey there! Rose and Michael here: the owners of Cobalt Studios. 

We've been asking tons of photographers and other creatives, "What would you want the most out of Cobalt Studio?" Hands down, the number one response has been EDUCATION! 

More often than not, even in the bookings we've had here, photographers don't understand how to use the space, or if they have a basic understanding, most photographers have no clue what half of the other equipment is for or how much potential is at their fingertips. 

More than anything, beyond watching Cobalt succeed, we want to see Portland's photographic community succeed. Not only succeed, but excel! And that begins with ridding of that intimidation looming behind the concept of a closed studio set. It starts with nailing down the basics, and that's exactly what this workshop/short course is about. 

What to expect at the Posing Workshop

At the Posing Workshop, photographers will work with models and other photographers while learning how to pose models properly. We have some incredible models in this workshop, who all take direction very well and are outstanding with posing! We want to challenge you and bring some inspiration for poses you would like your model to attempt (DO NOT ask models to pose sexually or provocatively, inappropriate requests will not be tolerated). Models can and will turn down any posing that makes them uncomfortable. 

Before shooting, we will discuss, and go over how to set up and use the flash triggers, and how to mount and control lighting stands.

All details of how we will achieve our looks will be discussed during the workshop.

Beyond education, what is expected to be gained from this workshop

You will capture an assortment of awesome images with models collaborating on this workshop. You can use these images in your portfolio to show off your new skills, and hopefully gain new connections! 

Here's an inspiration board of what we intend to capture!
