Rev up your creativity in this exciting two-day toy and model car photography camp! Young photographers will master forced perspective, motion blur, lighting, and action effects to make their toy cars look like real vehicles in stunning, high-energy scenes. Whether you're using a smartphone, tablet, or camera, this hands-on experience will teach you professional tricks to bring small cars to life. Class Breakdown: 🚗 Day 1 - Realistic Car Photography: Learn how to make toy cars look life-sized using smart camera angles, lighting techniques, and forced perspective. Explore indoor and outdoor settings to create believable backgrounds. Capture and share your best shots while receiving expert feedback! 🏎️ Day 2 - Extreme Car Photography: Experiment with props, creative positioning, and digital backgrounds to build action-packed scenes. Use motion blur and perspective tricks to make cars look like they're speeding, drifting, or mid-jump. Share your work and get inspired by other students’ creative ideas! Throughout both sessions, students will actively photograph their toy cars, share their images for feedback, and develop essential photography skills in a fun and supportive environment. Sharing is easy—just hold up your screen to the webcam for live discussion! 💡 Individual & Group Learning: This class runs with a minimum of one learner. If your student prefers a group experience, request a transfer at least 24 hours before class.
