We're heading to Southern California!
Get your sunscreen and shades ready as we head to Los Angeles, CA for a shootout filled with sun, Southern California style and senior models to help you grow as a photographer and add to your portfolio all at the same time!
Hosted by Tara Rochelle, Sean Brown and Caroline Gomez-Trespalacios, our vision behind the Venice Shootout is to pull out all the stops and bring photographers together for a day of amazing shoots in Venice Beach. When you think of LA and SoCal, this is what comes to mind and we're going all-out for you!
We will be coming together April 5, 2018 in Venice Beach with a small photographer to model ratio to make sure that you have time with every model and access to ask each instructor their philosophies on how they approach a senior photoshoot. This is the perfect opportunity for the photographer who is feeling like they want to up their game and deliver fashion-inspired images to their clients while building the perfect portfolio to market to this new generation of seniors.
