tran·scend·ence: The Female Form in the Lake Superior Landscape

“She picked up the pieces of her life and created something beautiful. From that day forth, she shone like the sun and changed the definition of broken.”  – Randall Cove

Picture this: you with your camera in the Lake Superior Landscape: perfect for infrared, B&W or color capture. Incredible models in beautiful surreal landscapes, immerse yourself in your creativity and a spirit of adventure. New locations and models will be featured during this workshop.

World renowned photographer and educator Laurie Klein, along with Nicole Cudzilo, will lead you through the art and techniques of photographing the female form in the natural landscape. Each day as we photograph in a variety of landscapes, we will concentrate on pre-visualizing, posing, and relationship building between you and your models. Laurie and Nicole will concentrate on helping you identifying and developing your authentic personal style. There will also be critiques and one on one time with Laurie with Nicole assisting. Post-production and workflow will be covered.

Part of the week will include a special afternoon excursion by boat to Sand Island to photograph with our models in the heart of the Apostle Islands. The Apostle Islands are renowned for their stunning natural scenery, windswept beaches, historic lighthouses, nature-carved rock formations, marine wildlife, and intricate sea caves.

• Experience working with models in a safe and supported environment.
