We are teaching online! This saturday: Aesthetics and Photography Workflows For Rope.

This Saturday we will be teaching at Kokoro Studio Live 🙂

The workshop is called “Aesthetics and Photography Workflows For Rope.” and there are only some tickets left.

The unofficial title for the workshop is “Do Proper Kinbaku Photography“, and here you have an introduction about what we will talk about. if you have any suggestions or questions, please drop me a message 🙂

In this workshop we will talk about the aesthetics and workflows used for kinbaku photography. It is aimed towards riggers, models, photographers and everybody involved in the production of a photo shooting, from spectator to light assistants, of any skill level. The goal of the class is to learn and define a workflow during a shooting in which all parties involved understand the basic concepts of Japanese aesthetics and are able to obtain quality results without over complicating. As well as analyzing what truly makes a good kinbaku picture beautiful and which are the basic tools necessary to achieve and appreciate that beauty. It will obviously be a theoretical class but we will show several examples, behind the scenes pictures and some information about how it is to experience a photo shooting directed in this way. The workshop goal is to learn how to apply all this knowledge to improve our own shootings.

In the Western there is a misconception to think kinbaku shootings are not real sessions while in Japan they can become very intense, especially for the model. That’s why we will put a lot of input in bottoming’s side as well. We will talk about the communication process between all participants, pre production, production and post production, a bit about equipment, a lot about directing and all the time about aesthetics. This workshop is one of our favourite ones and we consider it a very important topic regarding to kinbaku.

Hope to see you there!
