What you will be learning and experience during Bruce's fashion, fine art nudes, portrait or boudoir photography workshops in France, Europe in 2022
It takes confidence in your self and your abilities to become a published professional photographer, our photography workshop or courses will help you to gain this confidence.
Here are a few words from another past fashion photography course student David explaining his successes since taking our course.
” It is now 8 months since taking the Fashion Photography Course with Bruce Smith, a lot has happened since then,
1: 7 magazine fashion editorials published.
2: Photo exhibited in the Royal Academy of Art Summer Exhibition,
3: Shot three look-books for commercial fashion clients, all whilst keeping my full time IT job.
Before the course I knew how to use the camera but if you would ask me what is a look-book, or the industry terms like fashion editorial or where to begging a career as a fashion photographer, I would not have a clue.
You can walk or you can fly, with Bruce you will always fly.
Did I mentioned that I have just started testing with a top London model agency models.
