Art Nude on Location - Mastering natural light

I think many of us have paid good money for various online courses that sat half-watched on the shelves. Not so with this workshop:

It captivated my attention and delivered enriching knowledge that inspired me to set up more outdoor shoots. And the model, Wiana, clearly demonstrates what a top-level art nude model can bring to a creative enterprise.

Thomas Holm shows an incredible way to harness natural light. He graciously shares how to both select amazing locations and skillfully adapt to the conditions when working with the model once there.

This online workshop really makes me want to set up more outdoor shoots. It has prompted me to consider several local sites which could be great locations using some of the techniques showcased in the workshop.

I definitively will endorse this workshop to fellow photographers. Any photographer watching these will gain a deeper understanding of how to set up shoots with models effectively, communicate with them, and direct poses to achieve exceptional imagery.

And If your goal is to create stunning figurative work using natural light, this workshop will propel your skills to new heights.

The Art Nude on Location Course has been a game-changer for me, prompting me to be more prepared and informed when prepping for distant or new location photoshoots. The course's emphasis on remote locations, combined with Thomas's exceptional location mapping system, has alleviated my hesitation about exploring distant or remote settings. It provides invaluable guidance in finding and planning for remote locations.

The live videos of Thomas's photoshoots in various locations and conditions are pure gold too. Watching these videos feels like having a one-on-one session with Thomas himself, and the information and tips I've picked up have elevated my photography skills even further.

As someone who predominantly works alone, I found great reassurance in seeing that a successful location shoot doesn't necessarily require an entourage and loads of gear. Thomas's approach showcases that remarkable results can be achieved even in solo settings.

I deeply appreciated Thomas vocalizing the science behind various aspects of location photography and noting things to consider. These insights have provided me with a deeper understanding and helped me refine my instincts. This course bridges the gap between theory and experience, allowing growth and development as a photographer.

I am incredibly grateful to Thomas for sharing his knowledge and experiences. His willingness to impart his wisdom and guide others on their creative journeys is truly commendable.

The Art Nude on Location Course is a meticulously crafted and insightful learning package that has enriched my skills and expanded my artistic horizons.

Thank you, Thomas, for this invaluable resource and for empowering photographers like me to embrace the wonders of remote location photography.

The Art Nude on Location Course has altered my perception of what a location shoot really entails, as well as helped to demystify the use of sunlight outdoors.

Previously, I was hesitant about shooting in high or direct sunlight based on feedback from other photographers. However, this course has completely changed my mindset. I cannot wait for the warmer months to get out and apply what I've learned.

What truly amazed me was how the course emphasized adapting to the available light instead of avoiding it. By learning how to pose and utilize direct light effectively, I realized that sunlight can be a powerful tool in creating impactful art nude photographs. This newfound understanding has opened up a world of possibilities when planning outdoor shoots.

There are many images of a nude in the landscape available.

However, the difference when integrating the model with the landscape/location is significant. I really loved the concept. Seeing the examples of how to utilize different locations and posing really demonstrates the impact these aspects have in creating a final image.

The Art Nude on Location Course not only enhanced my technical skills but also boosted my confidence as a photographer. It helped me overcome some apprehensions and fears, empowering me to explore new creative avenues. The course's practical approach, focusing on application rather than overwhelming technical details, made the learning process enjoyable and accessible.

I wholeheartedly recommend the Art Nude on Location Course to any photographer seeking to explore or advance in natural light photography.

It offers a comprehensive guide to embracing direct sunlight, integrating models with landscapes, and capturing breathtaking art nude images.

I also feel it would be of great benefit to many models to observe and be inspired by posing ideas, as well as how the light may amplify their image with subtle movements.

The Art Nude on Location Course brought about a significant change in my photography approach, particularly in capturing those perfect moments that elevate a shot.

Watching you work with the model, making slight modifications, and timing your shutter to capture the fleeting instant, was truly eye-opening. Wiana's fluid posing, combined with your ability to capture instantaneous moments, resulted in stunning images.

I am inspired to incorporate this concept into my own interactions and photography style.

Another invaluable lesson I learned was how to maintain positive feedback and swiftly move on from positions that aren't working. Additionally, witnessing how you navigate challenges, such as dealing with cars and other people in the location, was impressive. You have a remarkable ability to make things work in scenarios where I wouldn't have imagined it possible.

Initially, I was unsure about the on-location, video-based learning format compared to more traditional lecture-style courses. However, I found that this format is exceptionally effective for advanced photographers who are looking to expand their skills but aren't sure where to focus next.

That's precisely who I would recommend this class to: Photographers who have already experienced nude shoots on location but aren't consistently achieving the desired results. This course will likely spark ideas and provide insights on how to improve.

Thank you for providing such a unique and insightful learning experience.

The Art Nude on Location Course has not only enhanced my technical skills but also ignited a renewed passion for capturing captivating moments.

I am excited to incorporate the lessons learned into my future shoots and continue pushing the boundaries of my artistic expression.

Highly recommended for photographers seeking to elevate their art nude photography to new heights!

It’s an exceptional series, and in particular, watching how your location shoots are executed from various angles and seeing the final images throughout clarifies the concepts you discuss early on.

Your inserted discussions at the beginning of each location video set the stage for understanding what’s going on and what lessons should be taken away.

Besides being a great photographer, you’re an exceptional communicator, elevating your workshops beyond merely fly-on-the-wall videos or voyeuristic experiences.

Having watched the location/natural light workshop several times, I absolutely feel more confident in breaking out of my studio and tackling a location shoot.

As with your previous workshops, I know I’ll hear you in the back of my head as I work, calling me to look more critically at the available light, consider unique angles and spaces I might otherwise overlook, and visualize more fully the final images.

For photographers like me who live tethered to the safety and predictability of a studio, this workshop offers an exciting opportunity to break out of my comfort zone and take on new artistic challenges.

Many thanks for this!
