THE BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP with DAPHNE CHAN

 

Want to build a successful Boudoir Photography Business? In this 2 day workshop, Daphne Chan will teach you step by step how to build an amazing high end experience for your clients-from marketing to your ideal clients and achieving high sales averages with your products and services.


Daphne invites you to her live/work New York-style loft studio to demonstrate lighting and posing techniques to flatter every body type. Each student will receive hands on coaching on posing the models and tips on how to create an atmosphere of trust and vulnerability with all clients. Our weekend will wrap with personalized image critiques for each student of images captured during the workshop. If you are new to boudoir, or already have a thriving boudoir business, you don't want to miss this workshop!

 

"It was a real pleasure to meet you. As i ve mentioned before to you, you are so much more then just an amazing photographer and good human being. You are very inspirational and intuitive women who truly cares about her mission in life. I ve enjoyed this class so much."

"I want to thank you for teachingThe Boudoir Photography Workshop this weekend. Even though I have many years experience in the industry, I found I had some kind of block about actually starting to incorporate boudoir into my world.
