NORTH CAROLINA "OG" CREATIVE EXPERIENCE
CHARLOTTE NC 2026

Senior Workshop Experience
Join us for 3 full days of hands-on education as we tackle what it takes to create epic senior portraits in REAL locations!  This workshop will start on day one working with senior athletes in order to create scroll-stopping images that modern seniors will love!  Day two will focus on working with seniors on location, in real environments, to create dynamic and storytelling photos that showcase each senior.

Day three will be focused sales, marketing, social media and post-processing of the images captured on days 1 & 2 (Josh), in-person sales (Nathan), the ins-and-outs of using Social Media (Luke) and workflow and process techniques from all instructors.  This is where the final results will really come together as we cover the techniques and fundamentals used in Photoshop to push image quality above and beyond the competition...and then learn how to sell those results to your clients!  Audio/Video recording of the post-processing session will be provided to all attendees after the workshop in order to allow review as often as needed to solidify the techniques covered.  (This means attendees need not focus on 'keeping up' or taking notes, but can focus on the real content!)

Day four is a bonus add-on creative day, limited to 12 attendees!  After the break from classroom day, come out reenergized and ready to have fun with a day of hands on shooting.  Our goal here is to push creativity and put those new skills to use.  Take home some portfolio images and enjoy the process!

Participants are encouraged to bring personal cameras, but there are no gear requirements to attend.
