Led by Paolo Ciccone, a portrait photographer based in Charleston, South Carolina, and creator of the Hollywood Boudoir experience, a signature style inspired by the elegance of 1930s-40s Hollywood portraiture, reimagined for today.
After feeling like his work was replaceable for years, Paolo set himself a challenge: define a unique style in six months or quit photography altogether. That journey took him deep into research, from legendary photographers like George Hurrell to the technical secrets behind Hollywood’s golden era portraits. Today, Paolo combines masterful lighting, classic techniques, and heartfelt direction to create emotionally rich, unforgettable portraits.
In this class, he will share his journey to help you find your own creative voice.
