Nude in Public
This 6 hour program brings you along on a series of art nude photoshoots in public places. The course includes 9 models & was shot all across the world, from rain forests to Manhattan, glaciers to the desert.
Universal Photography Principles
Throughout this course we shot in about as diverse a series of locations as you could imagine. We shoot Steph among Icebergs, in a field of flowers, at Europes most powerful waterfall, in meadows and lava fields.
Other shoots are in desert heatwaves, in wide open plains, and in bustling New York City. We shoot in front of moving water, in the back of Yellow Taxi Cabs, walking down 5th Avenue Manhattan, and climbing trees in nature.
You will learn how to:
- Identify locations and execute location portraits quickly
- Direct poses for maximum impact
- Create elegant & sensual art nude portraits
- Work with the available lighting conditions to craft dramatic images
- Edit to a theme and create a cohesive series of images.
This course is all about location portraiture - making the most of what is available and crafting images that fit your vision for the shoot.
We sought out some spectacular locations, but the challenges we face, and the lessons Matt teaches are applicable to all forms of photography and all locations.
We shoot:
- Outdoors in hard sun, shade and dappled light
- Indoors in low light, backlight and diffused light
- Using a minimal kit - mostly a single camera and lens
- Fast! Given the variety of locations we wanted, we focus on finding the best scene and outfit, working with the available light and getting the shot quickly.
The package includes a dozen raw image files, a brand new set of editing presets and a PDF list of all equipment as well as a bonus eBook Public Bodies.
What photographers said about Matt's previous courses
What makes Matt stand apart from others is the clear way in which he communicates the essence of the poses, the process, the equipment to use, and the art of the resulting photographs.
Max, San Francisco.
The Hotel Photoshoot was awesome! The “fly on the wall” format was very educational to see how you interacted with the model. I also appreciated how interactive you are with the model-she had some great input on the creative aspects of the shoot. This is a great course for photographers, as well as models who want to improve their posing.
Jon, Toronto.
This is a very well set out course. I like the rapport between you and the model as it shows how a shoot can be relaxed and professional. The different options shown with regard to focal length and aperture was also very helpful. Good job.
Saalik, Western Australia
Matt is an excellent teacher, starting the lessons from the basics and building to advanced.
Cliff, Philadelphia.
Your video series was amazing and really help me understand how to respect and make the model feel comfortable. I now also feel more confident with lighting.
Johnie - New York
Matt provides unconditional access to the studio and the models whilst stepping us through his successful methods and processes to getting the best results in camera. Truly tip top and educational photographic fun!
Connor, Oslo.
The course is now live - the pre-sale is over. You can immediately stream or download all the materials.
This program is 100% brand new content. I shot this throughout 2022 specifically to make this course.
Parts of it may look familiar because there are a couple of shoots with Steph in Iceland in the Bodyscapes course - but they are completely separate shoots.
Everything you get in this course is brand new and never seen before.
I shoot with 9 models in this course.
* Steph Pham is shot all around Iceland
* Model Jojo is shot in Manhattan
* Reyna is shot in a tropical rain forest in Australia
* Prai is shot in an abandoned warehouse
* Deon is shot on a rooftop in busy Brooklyn
* Jess is shot in the Nevada red rocks (during a heatwave!)
* Tim & Ariel take a roadtrip into the California desert for Duo shots
* Maggie explores historical downtown Vegas.
The course consists of over 6 hours of 4k video that you can stream via the website, or download each file to your device to watch offline.
You also get a collection of RAW files to work on, and a dozen editing presets.
I am also including a copy of my 285 page eBook - Public Bodies, and a equipment and outfit list with links so you can check them out for your own shoots.
