Seeing Sanguine | The Creative Intensive

Date: April 22-23, 2023
Location: Houston, TX
Total Cost: $3000

Description:
This workshop is for photographers that want to understand how to create fine art portraits. Over our two days together, we will spend time understanding how to create high-end portraits from a small budget. We will spend the first day shopping at various stores so that each participant can create a custom look for their model.

Attendees:
This intensive is limited to 4 attendees to provide maximum guidance and direction. We will learn how to use everyday items to build your story and imagery. You will watch how I pull looks together, as well as be in the room to hear how I guide others.

Day 1:
We will have a Project Runway feel of shopping to craft items into vogue looks. The day will start early to catch many yard sales happening in the neighborhood. We will discuss fabrics I like to use, items that complete a vision, unique items to pull a look together. Clients should plan on spending a couple hundred dollars on items to create their look and take home for their own personal studio wardrobe.
