Posing newborns is a delicate art. Capturing those stunning images that will live on in a family's photo album forever is a stressful job. But those who can safely create a comforting, professional experience are those who are well rewarded.

Join Australian Creative Photographer of the Year and newborn posing specialist, Kelly Brown, for creativeLIVE's first exploration into the hidden art of newborn posing. This 3-day course brings you to the front of the class with in-depth lessons and live demonstrations on all of the key components of a successful newborn business all at the fraction of the cost of individual or group training sessions.

Providing a concise look at the foundations of posing, this guide illustrates the ways in which key posing strategies flatter the lines of the body, creating definition, dynamic lines, and a camera-friendly posture. Photographers learn how to analyze the facial features of their subjects to ensure the most flattering positioning, how to finesse fingers for delicate or strong hand positions, and how to adapt a pose for a man, woman, or child. Strategies for artfully posing couples, large groups, under- and overweight clients, the elderly, and everyone in between are detailed. With techniques and images from nearly 50 of the industry’s most notable artists, this valuable sourcebook offers something for every film and digital photographer.

Bambi Cantrell returns to creativeLIVE in 2012 for this special workshop. Join Bambi for a look at the craft of running a successful portrait studio and wedding business. In her 25+ years of photographing professionally, Bambi has mastered the art of posing, lighting, marketing and business. Bambi will share secrets of how she continues to innovate in her photography and business in true Bambi style.

Look at the finest portraits displayed in the top quality museums of the world and all those portraits display a sense of beauty and style that simply is lacking in much of the portrait and wedding photography in the market these days. Digital wedding photography looks mostly flat and one-dimensional. It's about time we revisit the images that demonstrate the "lost art" of classical lighting, sensible posing, and good composition. This DVD will show you how to recapture that lost art...using the lighting of the masters.

Join Bambi Cantrell for an intimate three day workshop focusing on posing and lighting techniques with a focus on wedding, boudoir, and portrait photography. This is shaping up to be one of the most popular subjects we've hosted. Thousands of photographers from around the world are enrolled for this weekend, and we've seen a tremendous amount of interest online for both Bambi and the topic of posing and light.

From working with models to lighting and posing, everything aspiring glamour photographers need to know in order to run a successful business and take gorgeous pictures is included in this thorough manual. Written for both the amateur and professional photographer, this handbook explores how to build a professional rapport with subjects while creating sensual portraits similar to those found in Maxim, Playboy, and other mens magazines. Each of the 150 images is accompanied by explanatory text enabling the reader to re-create the shot in its entirety or emulate just some of the pictures techniques. Tips on adding personality to images, understanding how the body photographs, and taking elegant pictures of fully clothed models is also included.
