"In the Box" Masterclass for Photographers
About this Event
Have you ever seen an "In the Box" portrait and wondered, "How do photographers create that?" Better yet... have you wished you could confidently offer it as a signature product in your own business?
This hands-on masterclass is designed to take you through the complete "In the Box" workflow from the first idea to the final sale. You'll learn how to plan a successful session, photograph with editing in mind, create polished composite artwork in Photoshop, prepare files for professional printing, and confidently market and sell this unique portrait experience to your clients.
More importantly, you won't spend the day simply watching.
With over 20 years of coaching experience, Erin believes people learn by doing—not by sitting through hours of lectures. Throughout the workshop, you'll experience live demonstrations, guided practice, and hands-on coaching designed to help you confidently apply what you learn before you leave.
This Christmas Edition is the perfect opportunity to get ahead of the holiday season. You'll create a festive holiday-themed "In the Box" composite while learning a complete workflow you can use again and again for any season or occasion. By starting now, you'll have time to refine your skills, build your marketing, and confidently launch holiday sessions before the Christmas rush.
