LOCATION FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY MASTER CLASSES IN USA
3 days on how to shoot location fashion photography
3 DAY SESSION £750 - $1500
The fashion industry is one of the most exciting elements in professional photography and it is also one of the most competitive. I have assembled two of the very best, effective courses on this topic you can find.
This unique hands-on location fashion photography master class is crafted by Bruce to give you the tools you need to create a winning portfolio to succeed in the glamorous world of fashion photography. With his work published in major fashion magazines all over the globe, this is the opportunity to learn the trade from a master in the industry.
Location Fashion Photography Master Classes using locations in New York, LA, Miami, plus one other US location TBA. There will be 2 fabulous professional full time fashion models for you to shoot, along with my support team of professional hair and make up artist and stylist, to ensure the models look and are styled wearing up-to the minute fashions so they will look their very best.
Each day, we will cover various photography techniques, using both the indoor and outdoor locations.
These will give a good variety of both backgrounds and lighting situations, each with technical challenges that Bruce will help you to overcome with instruction, hints and valuable tips to get the best out of each location and the models.
Bruce much prefers to use available light but when it's needed he will show you his techniques of interiors flash and fill-in flash. He will also demonstrate how to get the best shots when using reflectors and diffusion screens.
He will take you out location scouting, to give you an insight into choosing the best locations that suit the needs of different types of photography shoots, such as fashion, lingerie, beauty and swim wear.
You will receive one to one and group tuition in all aspects of shooting fashion photography on location, and where better than in some of the most beautiful locations in the World.
You will learn so much and capture some fabulous fashion pictures for your portfolio.
Bruce will be at hand to give you guidance to ensure you go home with some valuable experience plus the best possible pictures.
PRICE £750 - $1500 per person. BOOK

Please allow for a small increases in the eventuality of there being less students than 10 students also to allow for increases in local costs.
Transfers to and from the local airport or railway station may be provided, subject to your arrival times and dates.
Fee includes: Tutoring fees include all tuition for the 3 days, model fees, stylist’s fees, and hair and make up fees, part of the location fees and location transport.
Each student will pay their own transport to where we stay plus their own accommodation and food. In past experience due to a high expected standards for locations and for accommodation and great meals for my shoots, I would allow c$200 per night acc for single occupancy c$125 based upon 2 sharing twin rooms, and c$75 per day for breakfast lunch and dinner.
I much prefer that every one stays in the same place for team building reasons. Staying and using a house, a villa, hotel etc as the location is best, if we are staying and paying, most places are only to pleased to allow us to shoot on the premises and in the grounds free of charge. I find its the same if we eat our lunch in a place that can be used as a location the cost of c15 lunches is enough to make them agree to let us shoot there. Places like sports clubs
etc.
I would recommend having every one staying together in a hotel, house or villa for the 4 nights. (Not compulsory if you live very locally but extra fees towards the cost of location fees will be added). location fees, professional model fees, stylist fees, hair and make up artists fees, some transport during the class, tuition fees etc for the period of the class.
This master class is open to amateur and professional photographers.
I will be at hand during all waking hours of the class for personal reviews of your images shot during the class, I will also be available post the tour online on the forum for reviewing of your image post production.
