Tired of not getting good live photos of your acts at shows? Want to look confident onstage or in studio and embrace the power of stillness? Just want to look your best in a selfie? Learn the magic of classic pin-up posing with international pin-up expert Bettina May, and you’ll be the star of photos, stage, and life! All genders and bodies will benefit.
