Velvet & Lace - BTS of a photo shoot

Velvet & Lace – Behind the Scenes Portrait Workshop

Ever wondered how a working professional builds a concept-driven portrait shoot from start to finish?
This behind-the-scenes edition of the Velvet & Lace workshop invites you into the studio to watch the entire process unfold in real time.

Across three distinct looks — ranging from a dramatic low key look to elegant velvet glamour and a dreamy high key look — you’ll see exactly how lighting, styling and posing work together to create powerful images.

Rather than shooting alongside the model, you’ll observe each setup being created, gain insight into the decision-making process, and watch how subtle changes in direction, light and wardrobe completely transform the mood.

Throughout the session, Andrew will talk through:

• How each look is planned and styled

• Why specific lighting choices are made (and when to change them)

• How to work with textures like lace and velvet for maximum visual impact

• How to communicate and guide the model to get authentic expressions

This workshop is perfect for photographers who want to improve their creative direction, lighting knowledge and on-set problem solving by watching a full professional workflow in action.
