In this immersive, hands-on workshop, you will learn how to create spooky, whimsical, and dramatic portraits that capture the spirit of Halloween. Using creative lighting, gels, wardrobe, and props, you’ll discover how to bring atmosphere, mood, and storytelling into your images.
Your instructors, Kari Stuckey, M.Photog.Cr, FP and Karissa Blunck, M.Photog., M.Artist., Cr., FP, the talented mother-daughter duo, will guide you step by step. You’ll watch the complete process from concept to final image, then take your turn photographing costumed models and experimenting with your own creative vision.

Inspiration – Develop creative concepts year-round
Wardrobe & Props – Add mood and storytelling
