As someone who believes in lifelong learning, I’m excited to share that I’ll soon be heading to Houston to attend the Art Nudes: Studio Class hosted by Nino Batista—a name well known and respected in the photography world. This isn’t just a workshop—it’s a chance to grow as an artist and refine how I approach fine art nude photography through lighting, posing, and intentional storytelling. Nino’s style blends technical precision with emotional depth, which resonates deeply with my own creative values.
Why I Chose This Class
Nino Batista has earned a reputation for creating bold, refined, sensual portraits. His work has been featured in iconic publications like Playboy and FHM. Playboy was a cultural icon and FHM was one of the most popular men's lifestyle magazines. Having work published multiple times in both magazines speaks to the quality, intention, and artistic credibility of Nino’s work. What drew me to this class is that it’s a focused, high-level learning environment where intent matters. This is the kind of setting where you’re not just taking pictures—you’re creating art with purpose. That mindset aligns perfectly with how I approach my work in the studio. I’m not interested in trends, gimmicks, or quick edits. I want every image I create to say something. To evoke something. To last.
What This Means for My Clients
Workshops like this are one of the reasons I continue to evolve as a photographer. They allow me to bring back refined techniques, new ideas, and fresh inspiration—so that every session I offer remains powerful, intentional, and unforgettable. If you’ve worked with me, you already know I don’t chase trends. I chase impact. And this experience is one more way I’m investing in that impact—so you continue to receive work that’s crafted, not just captured.
Stay Tuned
I’ll be sharing more once I return—what I learned, what pushed me, and how it will shape the work I create moving forward. In the meantime, if you’re curious about the fine art nude process—or if you’ve ever considered this style of session for yourself—reach out. I’d love to talk about what’s possible.
