Workshops

March 3 & 4, 2012— FULL
New dates available: February 25 & 26, 2012

The human form in motion is one of the most elusive yet intriguing of photographic subjects. Capturing the graceful forms of dancers in flight by slicing a moment into a fraction of a second, Lois’ photographs reveal what the human eye cannot see.

In this two-day intensive workshop, Lois will explain how she achieves her signature, crystal-sharp images and creates sculptural lighting for bodies in motion. The participants will not only practice her technique but will expand their ability to “see” the elusive moment of capture. Lois encourages the photographers to go beyond recording the dance by imagining and exploring the different emotions and narratives evoked by the human form in flight.

After demonstrating her process, the participants will photograph professional dancers at her studio in New York City using Broncolor strobes which stop the action at 1/4000 of a second. Lois encourages the photographers to use her Hasselblad camera and the Leaf Aptus 75 digital back. The images will appear on the monitor, providing instant feedback and easy communication with the dancers. You can use your own camera if you prefer.

The group is small and is customized to all levels of photographic experience, from beginners to professional, as the process is surprisingly easy to learn. The cost for the two days is $1350* and includes the use of the studio, four models per day, her assistants, breakfast/lunch and use of Lois’ lighting and camera equipment.

The photographers will keep the images they shoot, but the rights to use them will be limited to personal portfolio, exhibits and web use.

We look forward to the magic that always happens when a committed group of people work and play together. If you are interested in learning more about this valuable, hands-on learning experience, please call Kris at (212) 633-9595 or write to greenfieldstudio@loisgreenfield.com
