Hi Everyone, The next Melbourne workshop for this year will be Sunday July 12 from 1-4pm. Have had some strong early interest fr this one so remaining places are limited. At this stage looking at having one female nude model for studio work and perhaps some outdoor. For this year I wish to apply even more time into developing more communication between model and subject. To this end my main objective is to help people to be more open in their willingness and skill to direct the model. We will still cover technical aspects and you will still get ample opportunity to take your own photographs. However these days have always been intended primarily as a means to learn and hone skills. Cost for the day will be $100. This will be the price for the remainder of 09. Please note that these days are open to all levels of experience. The workshop environment is very relaxed and supportive. Best Wishes Tony. Empowered Beauty
To Touch by Ryan Lester

“To Touch you is just such a privilege. / But to love you, is something even more spectacular.” / / - To Touch / Ryan Lester I often write what i call ‘Little Stories’. Most of them are simple, very basic stories, but they mean alot to me. Anyway…........ every now and then, they pop into my head as inspiration during a photo shoot. ‘To Touch’ i though of instantly when taking this shot.

Another image from the recent Tony Ryan “Empowered Beauty” workshop held in Millicent recently. Featuring the beautiful and empowering model Claire. Twenty photographers took part in these sessions over two days and all walked away with a new found understanding about the true quality of taking photographs in the moment…..this was due to the instruction and teachings of Tony and the sensational models Claire and Josh. More sessions will be planned here in Millicent South Australia over the next twelve months so if you are interested in attending a session simply drop me a bubblemail. For more information on the sessions see Tony’s site on RB. Click Here Canon 400D 17 – 85 lens using studio style lighting. Shot in a large round pipe offcut in an old industrial factory.

A lighter moment by Evan Steele

My image was made possible thanks to Tony Ryan with his wisdom and guidance in the Empowered Beauty Workshop held at the redundant Cellulose factory, Millicent S.A. A special thanks to the Models Claire V and Josh Burdon for your patience, professionalism and willingness to bare your body and soul for that beautiful photo.

(AKA “NOT A Flower Macro”!!!) OK…so this is a slight departure from my regular genre!!! Last weekend (16/5/09) I attended one of Tony Ryan’s EMPOWERED BEAUTY Workshops. I went with a very ‘academic’ approach: I was expecting to learn. However, what I wasn’t expecting was to hear truths about human connection perfectly articulated by an astonishingly kind & humble man and the opportunity to explore those truths with such a beautiful, giving and sensitive soul as Claire It was an enriching photographic and life experience that I highly recommend. Of all my Artistic Nude shots of Claire, I found myself most drawn to this one. Not only does it epitomise the beauty of the female form, but, despite being unable to see all of her face, it captures the energy and essence that, to me, is Claire.

About This Group

This is a group for people who are passionate about creativity and photography. Shots featured are selected from images taken by people attending the workshops. There will also be a range of instructional written pieces relating to a wide variety of photograhic skill sets. We are endeavouring to encourage people to be free with their photography and to truly created empowered images from their hearts. Whilst the workshops are currently in Melbourne only we are very open to running them anywhere in Australia and overseas.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS
Our workshops are run for any level of experience. They usually go for about 3 hours and have at least one model in attendance. Cost is $100 and everyone gets a chance to direct and photograph and the pace is very relaxed and casual. My main passion is to help encourage open and honest communication between photographers and their subjects. To really enjoy the process of being creative and to become more aware as to how our inner feelings and thoughts affect others. Please feel free to bubblemail me direct if you would like more information on the workshops. Also offering studio hire and personal tuition. Have also decided to run a regular Beginners Workshop on Wednesdays and alternate weekends. These will cover the basics of lighting, camera settings and posing and will cost $60 per person for 2 hours with class numbers limited to 4.
Also here is a link to something I have written about the workshops. Workshop Structure

Best Wishes Tony
