This isn’t your typical photography class—and it’s definitely not about perfection. Nude Photography 101 is a dynamic, hands-on exploration of the nude form as a gateway to deeper artistic connection, emotional truth, and embodied creativity. From day one, you’ll be behind the camera, working with nude models as we dive into topics like: - The history of nude photography and its place in contemporary art - Lighting the body with intention and intuition - Movement, emotion, and the imperfect body as creative collaborators - Connecting human-to-human, not subject-to-object - Hands-on direction, composition, and presence during a shoot - The difference between nude and naked—and why it matters - Guided journaling using exercises from The Artist’s Way to unlock your inner voice - Feeling your feelings: vulnerability, projection, discomfort, and beauty in the creative process This course is for photographers who want to deepen their practice—not just technically, but emotionally and artistically. Beginners are welcome, but this is not a “how to use your camera” class. Expect to learn by doing, to fail in interesting ways, and to leave with new tools, sharper eyes, and an open creative channel. Instructor Website: https://www.iamladygroove.com/about
