Love Afafir Workshop

Love Affair Workshop

This workshop is taught by four different photographers over the course of three days. It looks like they cover just about everything, from posing and lighting to business planning and pricing. There is a limit to the number of attendees.

It does look like this hasn't been kept up with since 2010. So I am wondering if they are still doing it?

I found these backdrops today from a link posted in a forum. Looks like they offer canvas, vinyl and poly-paper backdrops and floor-drops (that is, drops that look like floors). They also offer baseboards, so your set up will look like a wall.
