Texas School Of Professional Photography

Meet Piper and the porcelain dolls. Spent a week in Texas working on some new skills. This is from a moment our class had in the Creation Lab where we were tasked to create a portrait using any studio lighting. The scene was set with Piper and her collection of antique porcelain dolls. It gave me goosebumps so I elected to channel an eerie haunted vibe to the scene. @theatelierwaxahachie and Click Backdrops also help set the mood with great set pieces and a backdrop. I chose to light my scene with @nanliteusa . You’ll see some extra lights kicking around, but only four were used in total. Used a combination of the Pavotube II 30c’s for some warm rim light and green glow with the FC120C overhead with a Rapid60 softbox and grid. Finished the scene with *chefs kiss* the Bowens Mount Projection attachment on a FC500B with the arched window gobo to create some dramatic background shadows. Finished the piece off in @lightroom and a painterly technique in @photoshop (thanks @amberdamour for the instruction!) My image placed first in our class competition as well as received a judges choice! Finished with naming the image “Porcelain Shadows” and adding some original music from @adobefirefly @nanlite_official @nanlite_global @clickbackdrops @txschool #nanlite #pavotubeii30c #porcelaindoll

Your eye has a story. Last week at Texas School of Photography, we turned 1,600+ eyes into art. What started as a simple iris photo station quickly became one of the most talked about activations of the week. Students, instructors, vendors, and attendees lined up to see their eyes transformed into electrifying artwork that looked straight out of a sci-fi movie. Every iris was different. Every image was personal. Every final piece became a conversation starter. What made this activation powerful wasn’t just the technology. It was the reaction. People saw themselves differently. They posted it. Shared it. Printed it. Talked about it. That’s the kind of experience people remember. At PhotoVille, we are always looking for activations that go beyond “just a picture.” This was immersive. Personal. Artistic. And unforgettable. 1,600 eyes later… one thing is clear: Experiences that connect will always win #PhotoVille #TexasSchool #TexasSchoolOfPhotography #IrisPhotography @curatorlive @txschool

The Vogue Magazine Box is always a favorite at any event! Everyone loves how customizable it is. The Vogue Box can be captured by a professional photographer, a photobooth or the guests can use their phones, your choice. #rentphotoville #okcevents #pbbackdrops #eventphotography #events

Movie Magic…Old Hollywood inspired. Let the @txschool recap begin. ✨ We kicked off Sunday night with three Hollywood-inspired sets, and honestly, it felt meant to be that Texas School’s theme this year was Hollywood. We kept joking that they planned it just for us. To start the week, we used all @westcottlighting continuous lights (the L120 here). It let everyone jump right into creating and getting to know each other without worrying about channels, groups, or technical setup just yet. One of my favorite parts was watching this huge room come alive—light spilling across every corner, conversations starting, cameras clicking, creativity building in real time. It felt like the perfect way to begin a week centered around storytelling, collaboration, and movie-inspired magic. Over the next week, I’ll be sharing more from each set along with some bts moments to keep the magic going. Stay tuned. ✨ Model: @meganlagemann Stylist: @shtookaatelier Lighting: @westcottlighting Backdrop: @babydreambackdrops Wonder Wall Assisted by: @raduske_images / @robertrayphotography Images created with the GFX100s II. Thank you @fujifilmx_us for making this class possible.

I am so obsessed with the images I am getting back from @txschool and I apologize now for the spam that will be occurring 🤣😍 📸- @mariarandolphphotography 👨‍🏫 - @txschool @johngressmedia #fineartmodel #modeling #dallasmodel #fineartphotography #freelancemodel

Stay tuned! ✨ Texas School, you did it again. Grateful for the growth and for a community that keeps pushing me further than I ever thought possible. 🫶 #chloesaltarelliphotography #texasschoolofprofessionalphotography #behindthescenes #professionalphotographer

The Hollywood party of the year did not disappoint every detail designed to create and capture magic. From stunning backdrops to elevated photography experiences, every corner was camera-ready.

Creation Lab @txschool was an outstanding addition for creatives. I got to take the @sonyalpha #50150mm f2 out for a spin before purchasing. Can’t wait to edit some wonderful models, including Shreveport's own @3212harvey and the amazing @teehupp
