Online Course:

“Style It & Shoot It”

Do you want to set up your own photo shoots to build your
styling portfolio? Do you have a creative concept or new
product you want to market?

Or your goal may be shooting products for the Web, either
on your own site or selling on sites like eBay. A welllighted
and styled photo can make the difference.

It would never have been possible for small business owners to create their own photography until a few years
ago. Now, marketing via the World Wide Web, combined with simpler digital cameras and image editing software
have made that option more common. Small images can be created right in the workplace.

And then the items you are photographing can be styled to realistically portray them, show their features, and
create an appealing presentation.

This 6-week online course is designed to provide you with the skills to produce quality images with a basic
understanding of photographic lighting and composition – and without expensive equipment. And to style your
items, especially soft goods, fabrics, and clothing in a way that will flatter – and sell – them.

Two instructors collaborate in teaching this class:

Photography Instructor is Peter Romfh (http://www.bigoven.com/~promfh). With over 50 years of experience in photography, Pete is uniquely qualified to teach photography to non-professionals. No need to invest in professional lights and cameras if you
want to create images for your own use or for low resolution Web sales. Use Pete’s practical techniques to set
up an economical studio and create the quality images you need.

Styling Instructor is Susan Linnet Cox. Susan has been involved in all areas of photo shoots for over two
decades. She has specialized in catalog design and art directing photo shoots, followed by her real love, styling.
Building on Photo Styling 101, she will provide you with techniques for styling your products in the shot.

The course begins Tuesday, Oct. 28, with lessons being sent every Tuesday for six weeks. This course is completely
online and you do not need to buy textbooks or attend classes. Learn at home on your own schedule! Fun and
challenging assignments will be presented weekly, designed to help you improve your shots.

Suggested Materials This online course is designed to help you learn about taking effective photographs to
build your styling portfolio, make your creative concepts come to life, or to sell your products on the Web. No
expensive materials need to be purchased at this point in your career. Naturally, if you are taking an online course
you have access to a computer and internet access. You will need: · A digital camera of any quality · A tripod will
be recommended but not required.

Cost for this six-week course is $375, with a $50 deposit. You can sign up for this and lots of other educational
photo styling courses at www.photostylingworkshops.com.
