Empowered Beauty Workshops
Featured Work

The last workshop for this year will be Saturday December 5 from 2pm until about 5.30 pm. At this stage am not 100% sure of the style for the day. Planning on a sports /boxing theme and either fashion or art nude for the other scenario. The format for the day will begin with an introductory talk from myself about the philosophy and direction tecniques behind my style of shooting.This will be followed by about 10 minutes where photographers will pair off and practice the tecniques by taking head and shoulder shots of each other. From here we will work with the model where I will start each scene by doing 5 minutes in front of the class. From here individual photographers can take the opportunity to do 5 mins in front of the class with my assistance and from here we will go into group practice sessions. Shots taken on the day can be used in your online or hard copy portfolios. To view dvd footage of past workshops or to read testimonials from past participants please visit the workshop section of my personal website www.leapoffaith.com.au 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. www.leapoffaith.com.au

I am very passionate about photography and creativity and want to work more in sharing this passion. At this stage I am running my workshops every 3 weeks but would like more regular interaction with other creatives. To this end I am offering my services for one on one tuition on an appointment basis. Tuition will cover such things as manual camera settings, lighting techniques [studio and location], model directing from both an aesthetic and mood perspective and anything else people would like to cover. Sessions will be around 2-2.5 hours and the cost is $70. These are open to any level of experience and will be run in a very calm and relaxed way. Please feel free to bubblemail with any questions. Best Wishes Tony.

Connection by EmpoweredBeauty
Often at the workshops there are several people photographing at once. I often advise photographers to wait for the moment when they see and feel the model in the moment rather than stressing over a result. In this one I managed to click the shutter with Max very relaxed and connected. However as I often sit at the back of the class I had a couple of bodies to navigate around. www.leapoffaith.com.au

Joy and Freedom by EmpoweredBeauty
The theme of the Nov 8 workshop was to prioritise joy in life as our purpose. In this shot Max seems perfectly free and very much enjoying herself. www.leapoffaith.com.au

This is a small piece about the interaction between photographer and model. I believe that many people are really pressured by having their photo taken. They fear the result and lose composure. I beleive it is very important for photograhers to be aware of this and bring calm to the situation.

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 $70 per person for 2 hours with class numbers limited to 4.
