Photographers and models joined acclaimed fashion photographer and director Quinn Lovero for an exclusive one-day editorial photography workshop focusing on attitude and composition in fashion photography.
Set against the iconic backdrop of Pendle Hill, this workshop explored how we can create today’s “postcards” of countryside life — combining high-fashion editorial photography with authentic documentation of rural people and places. Participants learnt to use Pendle Hill’s distinctive buildings and dramatic natural landscapes to create compelling images.
