Last Wednesday’s Photographic Frontiers Study Group presentation by Rick Cummings was enthusiastically received and generated considerable interest in his classes and drop in sessions at his Boulder portraiture studio. I asked him to send me further information, so I could pass it on to the club. He has sent me the information shown below. Any interested persons can contact him through the contact page on his website https://rickphoto.com. Note that he normally requires that attendees at his drop in sessions have taken one of his classes, but he will make exceptions for members of Flatirons Photo Club. So, if you are interested in any of these sessions, be sure to tell him if you are a club member.

***** Portrait Photography Class – Starting March 6
Portrait Photography – Body Form Photo Workshop
This class will take you through classic studio portraiture into a deeper style of image-making that captures the essence of your model and evokes a story.

Over four sessions in you’ll learn the basic “rules” and techniques of portrait photography, and then break them. From there we will use these techniques as a way to make a statement about the person we are photographing and to create a story. You’ll develop your own style and way of working with your models.

This workshop takes place in a photo studio in Boulder. The cost of the class is $350.00, a deposit of $50 or credit card will reserve your place in the class.

Class Schedule:
Mondays, March 6, 13,20, 27, 7:00 to 10:00 pm

***** Body Form Drop In Session Wednesday March 8, 7:00 – 10:00
This is an open session for doing work with the nude. While I do not officially teach anything in this class I often give some direction if people run out of ideas. I have Terra as the model for this session.
Fee $60

***** Body Form Workshop – Photographing the Nude – March 11
The Spring session for the Body Form Photo Workshop is
designed for photographers of all levels who want to explore photographing the human form. No prior experience with nudes is required.

Over four sessions you’ll explore the purity of the human form with an emphasis on creativity and seeing the nude in a new way.
In each session, we’ll start off with a review of your previous images and then move into a shoot with a different model, lighting environment and approach. Classes are inspiring, very interactive and fun!

This workshop takes place in a photo studio in Boulder. The cost of the class is $350.00, a deposit of $50 or credit card will reserve your place in the class.
