Fashion Photography 101 with Lara Jade

YIKES you gotta edit out that "American Indian" shoot - I guess she doesn't know about cultural appropriation, or how racist that term is.

Great content but it would be nice if the mic shuffling noises could be edited out. Around minute 12 on video 6 theres a JARRING glitch that startled the heck out of me.

I’m surprised by the negative reviews. Lara is pleasant to watch and listen to, not to mention she is gorgeous on the inside and out! She is organized and has an answer for every question. She is intentional with her work and has a great vision. I thoroughly enjoyed this and watched the whole workshop.

It was an amazing class. I have seen many fashion photography courses in Creative Live and I find this one was one of the best and very easy to follow. Lara was very clear about the fashion photography industry, explaining the differences between editorial, commercial and advertising fashion photography and when/why you work for free, the process, the importance about experimenting solo or with a creative team. It was very inspiring and loved her!

Very useful course. You have to have some knowledge about how to use studio light and posing. But then again fashion is not a beginner's subject. Better try some first, fail big and then watch the course. You will start to understand how to improve. Also the part about style is great. Most courses avoid this completely and Lara Jade gives you all the tips you need.

Having dusted off my camera after a 3 year inspiration slump I decided to head toward the fashion/editorial/Fine art/Portrait route. I discovered this course and after researching Lara Jade's work and seeing the course content I decided to buy the course. I'm completely new to the fashion world having mainly shot personal stuff. Anyway, for anyone reading this review who might be thinking 'should I, shouldn't I book this course?' I'm only up to video 6 - the vintage natural light look. I've learned so much already, even if I'd paid the same and got the first 6 videos I'd have been happy. So far it's covered so much about planning shoots, directing models. I like the fact that Jade is a working professional photographer rather than a want-to-be-but-failed or a long time passed has-been. I like that she's British (as am I). I like how she teaches and how down to earth she is and how happy she is to answer questions. I like how humble she is. The content, the teaching style is nothing short of being an assistant on set and learning first hand. Don't think about buying this course, just do it. You will not be sorry, I promise you!

Really enjoyed this class. What an amazing lady she is. I felt emotional at the end. Need to do some more Lara Jade courses

Lara has great insights and I definitely learned a lot from her since she is very detailed in how she shows the step by step of her process. The only thing that really bugs me is the girl from the class audience that asked too many obvious questions and I felt like it kind of stopped the flow of learning and inspiration. I get that there's no stupid questions, but I found myself saying "here we go again" every time she asks questions. And I haven't even gotten through all the classes yet. Its annoying to have to listen to it, its mostly irrelevant or obvious.

This is a really great course for someone just starting out in Fashion Photography. She goes over a lot of great stuff to get you started and shows you a bit of how she works. I wish she talked a little bit more during the model shoots though, to explain her thinking, etc. I'm definitely going to watch this a few more times so I can remember everything, especially the business aspects.

I am an emerging fashion photographer and I thought this was an excellent course!! Lara is a very good at explaining her processes and why she does certain things. It was interesting to see her style and processes and compare and contrast them to my own and other fashion photographers.

Amazing course! Very well structured, lots of information, very practical. Way more than I expected from a 101 course. I love the way Lara presents it.

Love this course!! There's so much info packed in and not only did a learn a ton but I left SO inspired. Maybe it's just Lara making it look easy but I feel like I have a starting point and shooting more editorially/creatively is more attainable. I definitely don't have a stylist, makeup artist, hair artist, set designer, etc. but I'm hoping to connect with some girls on Model Mayhem and slowly start working on more creative shoots! Can't wait until spring!

Missed the live course, but took a chance and bought it. Glad I did. Today I watched the photoshop sessions, followed up with an image I wanted a special look for, and it has changed my postproduction dramatically already. Very clear, methodical teaching. I look forward to watching more soon.

Lara's course was very well put together. She covered so many aspects of her shoots, including letting her creative team have the perfect amount of input; so she demonstrated how important it is to surround yourself with the right people and consistently getting their input. I'd love to be able to work with her hair stylist and wardrobe stylist for future editorial shoots. For being as young as Lara is, she is beyond her years in preparedness, experience, and aptitude to instruct. I thought she handled situations, like some "dead air" during live shoots very well by explaining in detail what was going on. Needless to say, I was super impressed.

Lara has been a long time favourite photographer of mine. Her style is very unique and wonderful to look at. I bought her Fashion Photography book 101 and this course happily goes well alongside it. This course is ideal for those looking to make the leap into fashion photography and is also valuable for emerging photographers. The advice Lara gives focuses on what steps to take in the early stages, as well as how to get your work out there and how to get your style noticed. I will certainly enjoy adding this workshop to my growing collection of CreativeLive courses.

this is to good
