About this course

This course takes a beginner from awkward, flat portraits to the directed, well-lit, magazine-ready images that fashion editorial is built on. You will pitch a concept, assemble and brief a creative team, run a model through a posing and movement vocabulary, and shape light with named strobes and modifiers like the Profoto B10 and a beauty dish. Every module uses concrete numbers, real tools, and worked examples from real shoots, ending with a clean lookbook delivery and a submission you could send to an editor.
