“What an amazing experience it was for me to attend Natalie & Matt’s Fashion Shoot Experience & Workshop in Milano-Italy this past October. This opportunity afforded me the chance to work with a full team including a stylist, hair and makeup designers, and several models not to mention the grand location of Marcel Claude Photography Studio Center.
“The structure of the event ensures that the images you capture will be uniquely yours. They set up everything and let you enjoy the fun of creating without the pressure of 20 other photographers next to you vying for the same shot. This 2:1 ratio is brilliant and well worth paying for.
“Not only was this a great event but it also allows you the chance to invest in your own portfolio of work. What better investment can you make than in yourself? This is truly a sincere testimonial. I really appreciate all the hard work that Jane’s; Blanca, and Marcel Claude put into your workshops and can’t wait to attend another one.”

“Attending the event has been a great highlight of my photographic journey. The location was dreamy and beyond anything I could have imagined. The attendees were all so kind and thoughtful, not at all aggressive or overbearing, as is often the case at photo shoot-outs. The models were professionally and cooperative and beautiful, as well! I learned a lot, practiced a lot and allowed myself time to experiment and, consequently discovered all sorts of new things about posing and working with a model that I could never have learned without the extensive amount of preparation Natalie and Matt had put into coordinating the make-up, hair, styling, location, and talent.
“I also enjoyed the editing movies afterwards, watching you edit the photos you took at the Brooklyn event. Although I know many of the technique you showed, it was such a pleasure listening to your thought process as you added or subtracted, blurred or clarified, and determined the strengths of the photos you chose to edit. And I’m sure I picked up a trick or two along the way!”

“Thank YOU both so much for the opportunity to shoot your gorgeous visions… It was a treat to shoot with the amazing souls assembled that day! I have a feeling I will be attending more of these experiences….especially in Milano-Italy (my new favourite place)”

“Just to say thank you so much for such a rich day. Like most people I came home full to the brim of good things, went to sleep late after looking at the feast of pictures, so much to look at, so much to think about. The models were amazing and location superb. It did everything it says on the tin… and more…”

“Thanks for a great day Marcel. I liked the warm-up session where we just chatted about the day and people’s experiences to date; the models, make-up and styling; the assistants and even the bonus opportunity to shoot 2 models!
“Like it says on the tin, the whole exercise is an opportunity to take photos in an environment and with resources that would take a huge amount of effort and cost to coordinate on an individual basis. I can see me doing this once a quarter and that would be my fashion shooting for the year – this is strictly fun for me.
“This was my second Shoot Experience, during which I actually thought about getting a shot that would be used in a composite rather than as an “as you see it” image – this is a first for me and a huge step forward in being able to think beyond what is in front of me.

“My best Friend….,The Shoot Experience was totally unique! Always wondered what it would be like to work with a team of professionals and boy did it deliver tenfold! It’s an incredible insight into a style of photography outside the reach of 99% of photographers and I’ve left feeling humbled, inspired, and all I’m thinking about everyday is when I can do it all again!!!”

“I can happily say that this shoot MASSIVELY improved my portfolio of model shots and moved it into fashion. I’ve produced some of my best ever work at this photoshoot. I’ve sorely needed a boost of confidence and to get out there again especially since I hadn’t picked up my camera for a long while due to being stretched too far. Travelling two hours each way to get to my day job can do that! However with redundancy looming and become more certain each week, this was an opportunity too good to miss to refresh and get new material.
“The shoot itself was a full day’s shoot and at the end all of my muscles were quivering and the next day I was hobbling instead of walking. If anyone is hesitating about group photoshoot opportunities like this with Miss Aniela, I wouldn’t even blink, just book!”
