Corporate Training in Prop Styling

“Robin brought volumes and volumes of information to our 4 hour session.
She left no stone unturned when it came to innovative propping ideas and enabled me to look at my company’s brands through a much wider lens than ever before. She is a GEM!
— Nancy Zamparelli, Lead Stylist, Hello Fresh

The Prop Styling Experience® Corporate Online Workshop is for those sent by their company to learn photo styling techniques to enhance their performance and supplement their skill set at jobs involving the creation of image assets in a specific commercial niche.

This immersive program begins with a detailed intake questionnaire filled out by you or a supervisor and a Zoom call. I’ll research your website, your brand and your social media presence to determine what skills you need support with and determine how many sessions we’ll need. I’ll meet you on your level—If you are new to styling, we will start at the very beginning (I’ll recommend 8 sessions). If you know what you need to learn and have a specific goal that can be achieved in 4 sessions, I’ll tailor the workshop to working with the merchandise or service your company sells and give you solid advice and techniques for making those items look their absolute best.

We'll discuss the photo shoot process, from brainstorming concepts to set building, work on specific techniques and prop sourcing. By the time we conclude you’ll have the tools and skills to kill it as an effective on-set stylist for your company.

For packages of 4 or 8 sessions we will meet online for 90-minutes of live instruction with screen sharing, discussion and Q&A. You will have the opportunity to see me demonstrate right in front of you without the expense of coming to New York City. Hands-on exercises will be completed at your office and placed in a private dropbox folder for critiques and suggestions if desired. All packages are custom and reflect the prep time need for me to become an expert in your visual branding.
