Join Us For a Three Day Workshop with
Rob Woodcox and Photo Club PDX!
Rob Woodcox is a fine art and fashion photographer currently splitting time between Mexico City, Los Angeles and New York City. He exercises his talent for photography with a passion that is unquenchable and contagious. As he creates each piece of artwork, Rob strives to capture fragments of a vivid life sewn by the threads of reality, memory and dream. Each concept is a declaration of his experience and seeks to tell a meaningful story to each individual that views it.
Rob's passion for photography has developed into a dedication for advocacy and making strained voices heard. Rob has produced projects raising awareness and conversation around the US foster system and adoption, queer identity, body positivity and racial diversity. Having been adopted as a child and interacting often with the foster care system, Rob creates from a unique perspective, finding hope in the human connection and the will to overcome negative constructs within our complex societies.
Rob has worked for clients such as Universal Pictures, Capitol Records, Live Nation and various celebrities. His work has been seen in public gallery spaces in Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Austria to name a few, and published in various media outlets such as Vogue, Out, Vice, ABC, UK Mail, Huffington Post and more.
October 18-20 Workshop Description
During this three day weekend with Rob, you will indulge in inspiration, practice guided lighting and camera techniques, gain vision, master intermediate and advanced editing techniques and perfect your composites. You will have the opportunity to pair these photographic skills with business and social media tips from Rob’s years of online and real-world success. Beginning, intermediate and experienced photographers are welcomed in this course. The course work paired with the vibrant and eclectic energy of Portland, this could mark a powerful change in your journey.
