CREATE: Exploration & Personal Connection
CONNECT
The sooner you can shift into your HEART the sooner your creative exploration will imbue with the love you have for your craft.
It doesn't have to be "hard" but you DO have to shake off your own self judgement of perfection. Connect to YOUR heart and nothing else in the world matters. That vision does not serve you or your growth as an Artist.

EXPERIMENT
Constant light, strobes, natural light, styling it ALL counts and in Cat's studio you'll have the tools at your disposal to explore and experiment to fail forward in creating work you are PROUD of.
Work that is connected to YOU.
Work that is connected to YOU.
FOLIO
Of course some may want to take the imagery created during this workshop and add it to their portfolios to showcase work they want to create with their clients to which you are absolutely welcome.
I also find that many attendees find that the work created here allow them to showcase their purpose and message in even more meaningful ways because it is connected to their heart and for that I am proud.
Share, print for your studios, or simply keep it for yourself because it will shift how you show up for your work, your clients, and for YOU.

From Cat:
I'm excited to dive deep with you and be your sojourner of personal exploration which will empower you to grow as an Artist and as a human.
Creativity through Connection
I used to stare at my work with an immense self loathing. I could FEEL that I wanted my work to look like, but I was beyond frustrated that I couldn't bring it to life. It wasn't until I allowed myself to play, to experiment, and to fail that my work evolved.
My goal isn't to just hand you a lighting diagram and hope for the best. There are plenty of educators that can do that with you.
My goal is to not only share my journey and my process but to create WITH you, to explore with you, and to connect with you so that you can return to your studio in your own presence with your own muses, clients, and models to continue that exploration, to continue that connection, and continue the evolution of your work in your world.
You MUST connect with your heart.
You MUST connect with what you want for your work to not only look like, but to FEEL like: for you and for everyone you photograph.
