Join internationally renowned fashion photographer Nigel Barker as he takes you behind the lens and onto the set of a high fashion shoot.  

 

Using images and stories from his career as a photographer and judge on America’s Next Top Model, photographing celebrity magazine covers and top advertising campaigns, Nigel will illustrate how each image was made - how he approaches his subject, achieves unexpected lighting, and pushes boundaries.

 

On set, Nigel will photograph three different models highlighting a high fashion shoot, portraiture session, and movement. He will demonstrate how to sculpt the light, direct and pose a model, use props and fans while collaborating with the stylist and hair and makeup. Utilizing a high-energy atmosphere, Nigel will show how to connect and engage the model to develop an intimate relationship to create a narrative within each image.

 

A Stylist and Hair + Makeup team will share insight into their relationship with the photographer and tips for getting the most out of your team.

 

The evening will wrap with a cocktail reception with Nigel and his first assistant providing additional time to ask questions and an opportunity to be photographed by Nigel Barker.
