a unique collaborative photo experience

Cindy Karchner

Cindy loves photographing people, architectural elements, fine art, abstract, texture and black and white photography, loves capturing motion, movement and softness. She is a lover of learning new techniques and working to master them through observation and practice. She loves collaborating with other female artists.

Cindy first worked with Zinn in 2014, who taught her to work with models. Models quickly became one of her favorite subjects.

Diane Richter

Diane Richter is a freelance photographer living in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, who specializes in Music, Event, Nature and Fine Art Photography. She has been doing Fine Art Photography since 2005. Fine Art Photography is where her passion of art truly resides. She strives to stir emotions inside the viewer’s mind, perhaps questioning the meaning behind the image, her goal being to be different than all the rest.

Zinn Star

Zinn is a lover of life, the creative and a proud momma. Never thinking she would ever end up "A Model", she fell in love with the beauty of lines, shapes and her body. Becoming a full time traveling model and having the opportunity to travel and work with so many talented photographers has absolutely been a dream come true. That was 2006, now she enjoys being a mother of two amazing boys and

still has her hand in the

creative cookie jar.

TESTIMONIALS

"I took away the drive to shoot more creatively. I was in a rut and it helped me break out. Also, after seeing the images from other photographers, it validated my own sense of pursuing my own vision."

"What Diane, Cindy, and Zinn have put together is quite refreshing! The work you are doing is so important and I'm honored to be part of it."

"I'm a very go with the flow person and had fun with the way the schedule was set up."

"So much nicer working with all women. Light-years more organized than other workshops I've attended. Having the Model releases already signed was awesome, I'm used to chaos getting signatures at the end of a shoot. Thanks Diane, Cindy and Zinn!"

"It was my first Art of the Woman event, and I had so much fun collaborating with other woman and creating art. Thank you ladies for putting this workshop together!"

"The food is always a highlight for me. It's so carefully thought about and prepared. I also appreciate that there was plenty of water. My suggestion is to keep this up, as it is so important to all of us, regardless of location."

"Super successful - it single-handedly increased my portfolio by several strong images!"

"Thanks for organizing these events....much appreciated! I really enjoy the camaraderie and getting into a creative space with like-minded women."

"I've got so much good stuff from Sunday, I don't even know where to begin. Thanks, ladies, all of you!"

"Having attended two Art of the Woman events as a model, I'm eager to support a future event as a photographer. The collaborative and safe environment that Cindy, Diane, and Zinn have made wth these events is unique. I highly encourage femme creatives interested in figurative photographic art to consider joining a future AOTW event.."
