The August Sprints: It's Hot, Let's Make Cool Stuff
LUXURY PRODUCTS
We will examine the ways luxury goods are packaged and sold by photography. Lighting, production, details, and post-production skills you will need to build a high-end clientele.
We will shoot four luxury items:
A watch or timepiece
Sunglasses
Wine bottle.
Electronics (phone, or phone accessories.)
My goal is for you to end up with 6 portfolio pieces, and a working knowledge of how to repeat the process when needed. This will be a very exciting class.
EDITORAL FOOD
Beyond the menu is what I should have named this class. We are not going to be making perfect food shots, we are going to be using food as subject matter for editorial creativity.
We will shoot four assignments.
Food as metaphor.
Food as adventure.
Food as art.
Food as a glimpse into our souls.
My goal is for you to end up with 6 portfolio pieces and a creative approach to each and every photo assignment you get. This means using something familiar in an unfamiliar way. This class is going to be fun.
CLAUDE CODE
I will be doing two of these. They are one-day classes, and each will help you build an exciting, new way of working.
The first class will involve setting up Claude Code and Hermes to automate your workflow. We will teach Claude Code what to do, and it will do it on command.
From writing cold emails, to cleaning up your Lightroom catalogs, Claude Code is a partner that never needs a vacation or one of those mental health days we hear so much about.
The second class will be centered around building a creative hub using Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, and NotebookLM to give you more leverage than you ever thought possible. This class will open your eyes to the power of AI when it is teamed together on a common mission: To make you more money.
