You know it's yours. Your shoot. We'll come over here and check out this mood board. It's a good idea of what we're doing. We're doing a carrie okey shoot trying to sell this dress. This awesome dress right here. Wow. I probably shouldn't have been impressed with that. I should have already known and already, well, earlier, like, all right, we're gonna kind of feed off of this, um and make a nice, fun, happy party type atmosphere, questions. Did you get a good look? I don't wanna have let's have you by yourself up here and have to have you on this couch sitting. Yes, it on the cushions and kind of get close to each other and be looking at her. And you believe this was just a little bit, please. Um, you two I want on the couch. One up and one down you go. Nothing, but not well, that's. Cool. Yeah. That...

's, our and you're probably gonna have to move closer sorry, um, you made me want to be on the yeah you can get around you're fine you're fine you go and you get over that with just a hair so you could see sorry awesome and you taking kind of leaning together like you're enjoying this and kind of pointing laugh at her life with her sorry and I left there my life but watch her and play with each other and we're ready to have some music is good music really get into it way kind of all right looks good um let's change it a little bit I want get uh three of you all up to down um you'll stay there you three get up and get together around one mike and get real close and all right um let's just keep the energy moving happy music way all right um you don't get people all right let's have cannot get you to sit on this corner facing back that way you go and then just you two together really close can I get you kind of front just a little bit and you turned morning we're not that far and you move up here just based on kind of side on radio and share them I might be friendly and a little bit sexy all right let's go no no no looking at each other government together wait all right that's cool that's cool like that how do you feel feel good has been five girls in front of you I like five gorgeous women listening to me so there's a lot of fun. Yeah, great. So it is a lot of fun. The pressure comes when you have to deliver something to a client. Christ looking at every single element of this and seeing how you can make magic because you have great models, he get five great girls got a great set, the light set, everything is perfect. We use it to find that one shot is going to make the campaign, asking a lot of money on you and all of them, this one shot. I will make sure when I leave, I have the shot, the pressure's on you to give me that great shot. So as you're shooting to be always aware of that, make sure that wasn't a great time, but you stay focused on make sure they all look good, they all a great that was good. Come on up just so all of you guys know the internet is really cheering all on, they're very supportive and think you're doing a great job. They're doing a good job.

This was more of a collaborative course with Matthew Jordan Smith and Yoanna House, and it is brilliant. I just finished watching this for a few hours straight. I own several Creative Live courses and this is definitely in my Top 3. Matthew's teaching style is so kind but to the point and informative. That's the kind of photographer I aim to be. He puts forth his knowledge here in a way that totally encouraged everyone involved. I loved Yoanna as well. She was very direct but friendly as well. I loved watching her direct the budding models and her experience showed quite well. This part is for John, the guy who commented on June 2017. I completely disagree with you that there were too many questions and that other people were talking much more than Matthew, and that that was a negative. Matthew's whole point was not just to get straight to shooting but to talk a bit about interacting with people in general. This wasn't just about technical stuff; this was about forming that connection between photographer and model/subject. This was as much psychology as it was about actual shooting, and I absolutely loved that. So I 100% strongly disagree with you as this is one of Creative Live's BEST courses that I've seen thus far. Thanks a ton, Matthew and Yoanna, and thanks so much again, Creative Live (I'm a huge fan of you guys!).

So amazing !! Bought this and Lara jade Fashion Workshop and the 2 compliment each other really well. If you're interested in fashion photography these 2 courses are so inspiring. I Love the Matthews passion for the creative process, its inspiring and informative.
