About the workshop: A shoot with Beckstead is about ‘seeing’ differently. Seeing at a new level! 

Often we are so caught up with what the client wants that we end up shooting ‘safe-shots’ and then more safe-shots completely ignoring our own artistic drive. Sometimes the beauty of the model drags your lens in like a magnet keeping you focused on fashion while great composition slips past you. The leading line, the reflection, the shadow, the light was right there…why did you not ‘see’ it!? 

Bring one camera, one wide-angle lens and an open mind to ‘see’ and shoot in a new way!
