The Art of Birth: Unleashing the Power of Birth Photography
Join us for “The Art of Birth: Unleashing the Power of Birth Photography” workshop, led by renowned photographer Belle Verdiglione. In this transformative workshop, we will delve into the healing power of photography and how it is increasingly becoming a popular choice for capturing the raw and profound moments of birth. Discover the immense value that birth photography can bring to the birth experience, not only for the birthing individuals and their families but also for the broader community. We will explore themes around epigenetics, recognising how the visual documentation of birth can create lasting imprints, honouring and shaping future generations. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to explore the artistry and significance of birth photography with one of the industry’s most respected photographers.
Part of the workshop includes a birth simulation where Belle will demonstrate how she works in the birth space. This is the perfect opportunity to get out your camera gear and practice shooting with a real-life pregnant model who will be “labouring”.
Whether you’re an aspiring birth photographer or a seasoned professional seeking to refine your craft, this workshop offers a transformative experience. Be prepared to elevate your skills, expand your creative horizons, and leave with a newfound confidence in documenting the incredible journey of motherhood.
