Buccal Facial Massage Training Class in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn
I was back in Bay Ridge for another facial massage training class shoot with Joanna Tringali, this time with a slightly different approach to the photography. For her previous class, the focus was more on documenting the students’ hands and the actual massage techniques. This time, Joanna wanted the students’ faces to be much more prominent: both to show the people taking the class, and to give each student photos they could actually use for their own websites and social media. The students worked in pairs, taking turns as practitioner and model, which gave us plenty of opportunities for natural moments while they were learning and practicing.
If you teach workshops or trainings and want your students to leave with professional photos as well as new skills, let’s talk about how can I help you professionally document your next one.
Here are some of my favorite images from this shoot (click/tap to view full size and un-cropped):
