You will need a digital SLR or Mirrorless camera to participate in this workshop. Lens choice is a personal preference, I like to shoot with a 24-70mm and a 70-200mm lens on location as I find the zoom range covers all scenarios. All lighting equipment is provided on this workshop.
Inclement Weather
Dealing with random weather is all part of shooting on location and the shoot will go on. Ensure you bring clothing to cover all scenarios the weather really can change from Sun to rain and back again in the space of a few hours.
Styling
We want the images on this workshop to be extra special, to that end we prepare months in advance to source outfits that we know will look amazing against a Venetian backdrop.
