The importance of assembling a competent team – consisting of models, makeup artists, stylists, and assistants – cannot be overstated, and you will receive guidance on how to select and manage your team effectively.
Once you've planned your shoot, the course guides you through the shooting process. You will receive advice on how to direct your team on the shoot day, manage your time effectively, and adapt to unexpected challenges. Manon will share tips on how to create compelling compositions, work with different light conditions, and ensure the photos you capture align with your initial concept.

Manon will teach you advanced editing techniques to refine your images and achieve a cohesive look across your series of photos.
