The Photographer Ken has been heralded as one of the most visionary, and creative fine art photographers of his time. Internationally recognized for his fine art "Rope Tricks" series as well as numerous other related works, he has mastered the art of this genre of photography. The Goal Ken will take attendees on a journey into the realm of Fine Art Figure Photography where each attendee will watch learn and, above all, participate in the creation of truly beautiful female nude photographic works of art of their own. The Workshops There are two workshops. Introduction to Digital Figure Photography and Advanced Digital Figure Photography. The workshops are scheduled on a weekend and are best experienced together since the Advanced class continues where the Intro class leaves off. Attendees may sign up for either or both workshops. If signing up for the Advanced workshop alone, links to original authored sample photographs need to be submitted to gage proficiency level and acceptance. This is to insure compatibility of attendees. Please submit links to original authored sample photographs to ken@transposure.com and await further instructions to enroll in the Advanced workshop. Prospective attendees are encouraged to sign up for both workshops to gain the greatest benefit. Photo submission is not required if enrolling in both. The workshops are structured differently than the typical "shoot 'em up" types. Fear not though! Attendees will have plenty of time to photograph the models. Unlike other workshops, this series is geared towards education as well as shooting. The expectation is that attendees will leave with an improved understanding, knowledge and proficiency with this type of photography.
