Fashion Pool Hot Tub Country Lifestyle Portraits

About the event

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.
