Kim Weston Studio Nude Workshop

Fine Art Photography Workshops – Following the Legacy

Edward Weston Workshop at Wildcat Hill by Al Richter, 1948

For the past 11 years, Kim and Gina Weston have been teaching unique fine art photography workshops with a select number of participants at Wildcat Hill, Edward Weston’s former home in the Carmel Highlands.

For more than sixty years, photographers have come to Wildcat Hill. Names like Ansel Adams, Ruth Bernhardt, Imogen Cunningham, Minor White, Beaumont Newhall, and many, many more have enjoyed its beauty and connection to the Weston Family.

Specializing in figure (fine art nude), landscape, platinum printing (with digital negatives) and the California Mission Workshop and Book project, we also teach large format and darkroom techniques including how to use the camera, how to develop negatives and print them. Private One on One Photography Workshops are also available.

Come learn with our cameras or bring you own!

Kim Weston - Wildcat Studio NudeKim Weston teaches what he is passionate about – “Fine Art Nude Photography” Workshops – in the home of his late grandfather Edward Weston. Yep! you heard it right.

I really want to thank you and Kim for such an incredible experience!  I felt so lucky and honored to be in a place where you can literally feel the electric, creative energy from generations of artists.  Even better, we had world class models, Kim’s expert guidance, beautiful light, and your gracious hospitality and organization.  It was, without question, the best workshop I have ever attended.  I now understand why this was Randy’s 4th time!  All the best, Carolyn Hampton Los Angeles

We say “Keep it Simple“. Bring one camera that you are comfortable using. Some of the skills that you will learn at this workshop are how to compose, work with light, how to interact, direct and create a good working relationship with the model you are photographing. How to work with the light and the environment around you. How to make a meaningful image and what that means to you.

Our workshops are structured and organized with plenty of time and space to explore many different themes. We have good model to photographer ratio and the intimacy to accommodate each level of experience from a beginner to a very experienced photographer.
