"LOVERS" is a master class with Elizabeth Messina that focuses on artfully directing & capturing a couple. The emphasis of this immersive photography class will be on composition, light & natural posing. Elizabeth will share with you how she creates authentic and poignant photographs. She'll share the subtleties and nuances of how to direct and illicit real interactions that are beautiful and not forced. Elizabeth has captured meaningful portraits of many special couples, including Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson, Jason Bateman & Amanda Anka, Lauren Conrad & William Tell, Erin & Eric Balfour and many more. This class is part communication & instruction, part observing Elizabeth’s photo, styling & posing techniques as well as the opportunity to create your own photographs. It will truly be a unique opportunity to expand your repertoire in directing and capturing couples.
This year every “LOVERS” Master Class attendee will get an opportunity to capture photographs of their own during the class. Each attendee will literally be able to stand side-by-side with Elizabeth while she guides them with thoughtful direction and meaningful support. Photographers of all levels & mediums are welcome.
In Lauren's Master Class, for the first time, she will open up a class specifically teaching on shooting film. This class will be geared towards photographers looking to incorporate the magic of film (medium format, 35mm, even disposable cameras) into their work. The first 1.5 hours of the Master Class will be classroom style. Lauren will guide you through helpful guidelines, the basics of getting started with consistent film scans, working with your lab, how to shoot film in different lighting scenarios, when she chooses film over digital or vice versa, a discussion on the benefits to different film stocks, explaining and sharing the subtleties of color toning on film vs. digital, and more. The last 1.5 hours of the Master Class will be spent outdoors on the grounds with two models where you will
practice shooting film in a comfortable, low-stress environment and will be able to shoot with your film cameras. (Bring your own cameras!)
