6-day Fine Art Nude Photography Workshop
December 4 to 9, 2023
“I'm going through my images in preparation for my book Human Landscapes - I have a publisher, a distributor, and the images I need to create a beautiful book - thanks largely to you.” Philip Miller, Los Gatos, Calif.
Cuba is not only an exotic destination it has one-of-a-kind locations for nude photography. In this fine art nude photography workshop, you will have the opportunity to create unique images inside neoclassic and art deco homes as well as crumbling concrete structures. Examples of the amazing range of locations and working styles can be seen in the accompanying photographs.
The Havana fine art nude photography workshop is for photographers who would like to share time and ideas with a small group of like-minded photographers. All aspects of fine art figure photography, including posing and coaching, will be covered. Personal guidance will be given to photographers who have not previously worked with models.
Co-instructed by Steve Anchell and internationally-exhibited Cuban photographer, Alberto Arcos, there will be five three-hour photography sessions, and a free day to explore on the last day. Sessions will take place in homes and other locations in and around Havana. There will also be a life drawing session held during the workshop.
By limiting this workshop to six participants with at least six models, each photographer will be able to spend more time working one-on-one with models. It will also be possible to use locations not accessible to larger groups. Emphasis will be placed on developing and refining personal style and vision.
While you don’t need experience photographing the nude, photographers who have not previously attended a workshop with Steve must obtain permission to participate. If you are not certain if you qualify, please contact Steve, +1 503.884.3882 or email info@anchellworkshops.com.
