Country Lifestyle poolside Portraits Workshop

Escape the city for a creative afternoon of fashion, poolside and lifestyle portrait photography at a beautiful private country property in Somerville.

Set across a 12-acre farm with paddock views, this unique location gives us a fantastic mix of environments to work with — from the outdoor swimming pool and hot tub to the surrounding rural landscape.

With two models and only 10 photographers, we'll work through a variety of styled looks and shooting scenarios, including:

• Poolside fashion & lifestyle portraits

• In-water portraits

• Hot tub lifestyle imagery

• Fashion and swimwear-inspired looks

• Country-style environmental portraits

• Using reflections and water creatively

• Working with natural light and available surroundings

• Posing and directing models around water

• Creating editorial-style images across multiple locations

With a 5:1 photographer-to-model ratio, attendees will have plenty of shooting opportunities while we rotate between models, locations and looks.
