Training Retreat Summary

 We’re so excited to invite you to the WorkPlay training retreat! This is going to be a jam packed 3 days of shooting content, training & finishing up your onboarding with WorkPlay so you can go into your WorkPlay shoots confident and you understand how the WorkPlay team operates. 

 

Here's the General Rundown: 

  • 3 Styled Shoots 
  • 1 Partner Shoot
  • 1 PopUp Shoot Event
  • Team Headshots 
  • 2 Shoot Critiques 
  • Lunch will be provided  

 

Styled Shoots: 

Styled shoots are shoots where you will be shooting for a particular vision and aesthetic. The goal is to get as close to the aesthetic as possible when you are shooting. 

 

WHAT WE LOOK FOR: 

- Vocal client direction 

- Correct framing of the content shot 

- Full body, mid-body & detail shots of each scene 

- Creative ideas on par with the creative aesthetic for the styled shoot 

 

Shoot Critiques: 

At WorkPlay branding we are constantly up-leveling our work and what we do so feedback and critiques are a huge part of being on the team. We’ll fine tune what specifically you need to work on in order to take your shoots to the next level. 

 

WHAT WE LOOK FOR 

- Being engaged in not only your critique but others as well. 

- Applying what you learned into the next styled shoot sessions

- Asking good questions!
