Clothes are the pretext; the picture is the point

The discipline

Our fashion workshops treat the genre as editorial storytelling rather than catalogue work. Small teams, one collection, real constraints: a location, a day of light, and a rail of clothes that must become a sequence of photographs with a point of view.

You will work with a stylist and a model, learn set etiquette, and edit toward a six-image story — the unit fashion is actually judged in.

Departures

Field notes

Decide what the story disapproves of; style is mostly refusal.

The model can only give you what the set allows. Build the set first.

Shoot the details the stylist fought for.

Questions, answered

Do I need studio experience?

No. We start on location with daylight, which is where most working editorial photographers start too.

Who owns the images?

You do, under a standard collaborative test-shoot agreement signed by everyone on set. We walk through the paperwork as part of the teaching.

Is hair and make-up provided?

On the two-day workshops, yes. Day workshops keep the team smaller and teach you to work without one.
