What do you do at a personalized Hera Bell's live model workshop?
Workshops are limited to six participants to ensure personalized attention.
Participants assemble at Hera's studio at 9.30am.
Each participant gets a one hour photo shoot in a fully equipped studio.
The rest of the participants stay behind an invisible line and observe.
NO CAMERAS are allowed for the spectators. Otherwise we try to keep quiet, watch, learn.
Before lunch we can schedule 3 participants. Then an hour lunch break.
Everyone brings their own lunch, or the participants can oder food and share the costs. Hera offers a bottle of white and red wine.
After lunch, we resume with the rest of the photographers.
After the completion of workshop (within 10 days), participants choose one image to be printed (11"x17") .
The final event (20 days after the workshop) is a evening of image critiques. Participants choose 10 edited images which are projected for a group discussion. A friendly glass of wine helps the critique process. Since this is a learning experience, be ready to hear constructive criticism from me.
The model signs a "model release" for each participant. You will have full rights of your images, to enter competitions, exhibit, make slide shows or sell.
Although sometimes we hire a model to learn how to photograph artistic nudes, please note that pornography is NOT tolerated.
The participation cost per person is $170.00 for a group of 6 participants. Once you pay to secure your spot, you will not be reimbursed.
Hera also can host the same workshop for 4 participants. The only difference is that each participant will have 2 hours of photography with the model and the cost per person is $230.00.

Several of the participants have told Hera that taking the workshop with her boosted their confidence. They have also learned a lot during a fun filled day in the studio.
