Phew – that was fun!
First time I’ve been back to California since I left in 2008, and the weather didn’t disappoint!
The venue for my Pinned-Up workshop this time was the Santa Clarita Center for Photography run by Mel Carll (a new friend!) This workshop came about after I met the awesome William Innes at WPPI in Vegas this year, and he asked if I could bring the pin-up fun to Southern California…sure!
We had three great models, a bunch of fun students and had a blast. When I present these workshops we spend a day shooting, posing and lighting and then a day discussing marketing and intensive post-production.
Next stop for one of my pinned-up workshops is likely to be New York in September. If you want me to stop off in your town – send me an email!!
If you are a studio owner and want to host, get in touch! Let’s talk!
Here are a couple of the first images worked so far- the lovely Amy:




The SCV Center for Photography totally enjoyed hosting Mike’s Pinned-Up workshop in Los Angeles. We had 3 great models and the photogs had a blast, not to mention, learned some new techniques in Photoshop and Pindora’s Box. Thanks to Mike and William Innes for making this happen in LA.
