London Institute of Photography offers course in fashion photography presented by top artists
 
The London Institute of Photography was founded by award-winning advertising photographer Holger Pooten in London’s dynamic Shoreditch district. LIoP offers both full time and flexi-time courses designed to take students to professional level in the shortest time possible by building strong technical skills and nurturing each student's creative talent.

“We are proud to be offering a new fashion photography course taught by professional fashion photographers whose work has appeared in the like of Vogue, 125 Magazine and GQ Magazine,” says Holger Pooten, Founder and Director of LIoP. “It is a dynamic and fast-paced course suited to students who have good knowledge of the Beginners and Intermediate Photography Courses.”

In this course, students will be taken through the essential elements of excellent fashion studio photography, including techniques of studio lighting and equipment, effective use of lighting and specialised equipment, directing a fashion studio shoot and creating original fashion studio portrait images.

“Each student will be expected to apply what they have learnt in practical and theory sessions by directing their own fashion studio shoot and creating a portfolio of unique and original fashion studio portrait images,” says Pooten. “This course creates a solid foundation on which to build a career in fashion photography for aspiring professionals.”

The four day intensive course takes place over weekends and offers detailed theory and practical work related specifically to the art of fashion studio photography. This includes principle of light in fashion photography, lighting equipment and light shapers and measuring light through incident light meters, standard lighting styles and studio set ups.

Moving on in complexity, students will explore backgrounds and props used in fashion photography, using mood boards to create a brief and looking at current editorial styles and images by renowned fashion photographers. “A picture is not taken, it is made, so we focus on developing the practical aspects of making fashion photography as an art form,” explains Pooten.

“Bringing it together, students will study and practice lighting techniques including background, key, fill and hair, as well as Rembrant and Paramount/Butterfly techniques as well as integrated digital postproduction, which is essential in fashion photography today,” says Pooten.
“To finish, students will direct their own fashion shoot with a model, stylist, and hair and makeup artist.”

This four day course is offered during weekdays throughout July, August, September, October and November 2018. It is also offered as two consecutive weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) throughout August 2018.

“We will provide lighting and equipment but each student must have their own DSLR or Mirrorless digital camera with manual exposure mode,” says Pooten. “As we keep classes small to maximise personal attention and the creative development of each student, spaces are limited so it is advisable to book early to further your career in the rapidly developing field of fashion photography.”
