Objectifs’ Fashion Photography Workshop

Led by Geoff Ang, one of Singapore’s leading fashion photographers, this intensive workshop introduces intermediate and advanced level photographers to the craft of fashion photography.

As part of Objectifs’ Month of Fashion Photography in November 2005, this event marks the 3rd year of collaboration between Geoff and Objectifs in conducting a professional series workshop. During the recently-concluded workshop, the participants learnt about the photographer’s process from conceptualization, execution to presentation and were exposed to industry-level possibilities while working with professional equipment and set-ups during hands-on shoots.

On the technical front, the participants worked with Mamiya 645AFDII medium-format cameras, fully equipped with Leaf digital camera backs in a studio environment complete with Elinchrom lightings. Rounding up the professional-level experience, the participants got to direct their own shoots by working with models from Mannequin and local fashion labels including Baylene.

The workshop ended with a digital imaging session on Adobe Photoshop, during which the participants were given an insight to Geoff’s techniques on image editing.

An exhibition was held from 2 – 16 December 2005 at Objectifs to showcase the participants’ works with exhibition-quality images printed on an Epson 9600 large-format printer. Here, we are proud to present a selection of these images for your viewing pleasure.
