My Intro To Fashion Photography / Claudio Basso's Workshops


Since people were some of my first photography subjects, I decided to go back to that area and learn a specific type of  lighting. I still, and always, will enjoy photographing food, but I felt the need to pursue an aching question: How do I properly light people as the ones I've seen in the fashion magazines? An online ad made it to my email, bypassing the SPAM filter and was linked to some of the images I've seen around for quite some time. I've always admired this person's lighting, but never knew who the photographer was. I finally got the chance to meet him and be formally trained by the master himself - Claudio Basso. 
I've taken three of his classes so far to assemble a new portfolio and will be attending a new one coming up in March. What an experience!
