3) WORKSHOPS 101 👩💻

This semester, the Exec. Board and I are happy to introduce WORKSHOPS! Workshops will act as a way to creatively and professionally advance and enhance the TFN experience for all members, with topics and seminars ranging from makeup to modeling, styling, photography, and more. Workshops will be run by Exec. Board directors will be available to due-paying members throughout the semester. These workshops will act as a way to learn something new, hone in your skills, or advance your practice. From novice to professional, these workshops will allow members to become more well-rounded creatives while getting the chance to chat and converse with other members and directors one-on-one outside of shoot days or CFE craziness!
💃WORKSHOP: Posing Workshop w/ Kailey + Thomas!
A message from Kailey Sedlacek (Creative Director of Styling) & Thomas Sanders (Operations Director):
Welcome back, TFN! To kick this semester off, we will be introducing Posing Workshops!! These will be events where models and aspiring models can learn posing techniques, photoshoot etiquette, and the most important skill of all: confidence! Models must attend workshops in order to be chosen for a shoot, as each workshop will include theme-specific activities that will be important for the shoot itself! The first workshop will be held at the SCD lower lobby on the 16th from 5-7 PM by Kailey and Thomas! We cannot wait to see all of your beautiful faces!
INTEREST FORM COMING SOON!
