XIV Zoe Fest – The 14th Annual October 2017

The 14th Annual Zoe Fest will be held October 2017 in Far North Queensland Australia.  < Clickable text

 

Our retreat is not a workshop, there are no classes. It is for professional, advanced amateurs and hobbyists with good portfolios and even better references. We plan a gathering of models and photographers and we go on an artist vacation to create, make friends, and see old friends. Being a photographer or a model can be a lonely profession, we aim to bring you all together so that models can get to know other models and photographers other photographers. It is an event that you help create, we are all a part of the planning process. 

 

You book your own photo shoots and go out by yourself. We do not organize your trip, you do. That way you get to go where you want to go, when you want to go there. The only thing we do is organize a community of like minded individuals to share a space in time together for 10 days. 

And the only thing it costs this year is $300.00. $150 goes towards housing the models. $150 goes towards a donation for our time and energy organizing it. All you have to do is get yourself there. 

Currently as of April 14, 2017 we have 18 people signed up. 9 photographers and 9 models. We have 6 models on a waiting list and as soon as we get 6 more photographers they can start planning their trip. 


This year we’ve rented a tropical rainforest compound for our group dinners, BBQ’s, photography slide show nights, swimming parties and to house all the models attending. 

If you would like to come and have fun creating with us please fill out the application to attend Zoe Fest (text is an active link). You must have a portfolio to show us and a really awesome smile, or at least know how to. 🙂 Knowing how to work the BBQ isn’t a bad attribute either.

Upcoming Workshop Dates:

November 8-10, 2013 – Palm Springs, CA

[The difference between taking a picture and creating art.]

The “Mastering The Nude” photography workshop is taught by D. Keith Furon, and was designed for photographers of all levels who want to learn, develop and improve their nude photography skills. This three-day workshop will greatly improve your artistic and photographic eye, as well as develop your technical skills. An experienced live model will be present for the workshop to provide the opportunity to learn posing techniques and other skills needed to effectively work with live models.

Whether you’re a beginner, looking for their first experience with shooting nudes, or an experienced photographer this workshop will give you the guidance, knowledge and confidence in your skills at nude photography as well as help you develop your own artistic style and vision.

The workshop will provide the opportunity to work in both indoor/studio sessions as well as outdoor location photography.

To help participants take their photography to the next level, the workshop will concentrate on:

• Composition of an image to create intrigue and power.

• Creating the image before taking the picture.

• Posing models: building a rapport and getting the most out of a model’s strengths.

• Integration of elements into the scene.

• Creating Mood and drama in an image: Combining technical skills and aesthetics.

• Making a visual statement rather than just taking a picture.

• Working with contrast in textures and tone.

The workshop will provide a relaxed, fun and supportive environment of learning and development. And to ensure the best experience, workshops will be limited to 6 participants. Workshop participants will also receive a free, signed copy of D. Keith Furon: The First Thirty Years.

The workshop will be held at D. Keith Furon’s studio in the world-famous destination of Palm Springs, California, which also offers many amazing desert locations for shooting opportunities. A list of hotels in the immediate area will be provided upon registration.
