Join us for a fun vintage carnival-themed cinematic portrait workshop—capture timeless vibes in person!
Join the Vintage Carnival Cinematic Portrait Photography Workshop!
Step behind the curtain and enter a world of mystery, illusion and vintage carnival theatrics.
This creative portrait workshop is designed for photographers who want to create striking cinematic images full of character, mood and storytelling. Inspired by old travelling carnivals, fortune tellers, cabaret performers and sideshow aesthetics, Vintage Carnival blends dramatic lighting, rich colour, creative direction and theatrical styling into one unforgettable shoot.
Hosted at the incredible Slowburn Studio in Frankston, this small group workshop features two amazing models:
Emily Reinhard as Luna
Kimberley Fabian as Roberto
with stunning makeup artistry by Jolie's Makeup Artistry
Throughout the session we will create a variety of looks and setups ranging from moody circus-inspired acrobats, clowns, magicians and ringmaster scenes through to dramatic editorial-style character portraits using coloured lighting, practical props, atmospheric haze and cinematic posing.
This workshop is designed to be hands-on while still giving you time to observe lighting, direction and how scenes are built from start to finish.
