Photography Workshop May 14th | Inside the Creative Process: Fine Art and Commercial Photography

April 01, 2026 in Worskshops

Please join me in my photography studio for a photography workshop! After recently receiving my Master of Photography degree with Professional Photographers of America, they have invited me to start teaching. Hope to see you on May 14, 2026. Sign up below!

This photography workshop is an immersive deep dive into my fine art and commercial processes, where I’ll walk you through how ideas evolve from inspiration to final image. We’ll explore where I find creative inspiration, how I translate my passions into visual storytelling, and go through the software, lighting patterns, and gear I rely on to bring my vision to life. Beyond practical tips you can immediately apply to your own work, this class is designed to spark deeper inspiration and help you discover your unique voice in photography. Together, we’ll examine how intention and meaning can elevate your images and shape a more fulfilling creative practice. This workshop also includes a hands-on experience giving you images for your portfolio.

Date and Time:

Thursday, May 14, 2026 10:00am - 5:00pm

Location:

1801 E 18th Street, Ste 203, Kansas City, MO 64108

Your Instructor:

Emmalee Rathsam, M.Photog., CPP

This portrait draws inspiration from the timeless painting of Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer. In my reinterpretation, I set out to honor the essence of the original while reimagining it through a contemporary and more inclusive lens.
You can never go wrong with a couple of classic pieces styled with some vintage gloves. 🔥
