Description

" It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter." Alfred Stieglitz Portrait photography or portraiture is a photograph of a person or group of people that captures the personality of the subject by using lighting, backdrops, and poses. This definition discribes a broad range of possibilities for the photographer, so where do you begin? During this workshop we will work on creating the best portrait possible with a deep dive into this art form. From setting, styling, communication, light selections, exposure, posing and getting it right in camera. We will also have an artist (Jane The Artist) to help design a facial fantasy look for one of the models. Sounds easy, done it a thousand times? Well, for the rest of us we will empty our mind and create based on the personality of the subject and what we have to work with to create a body of work that represents the persons character. Our goal in this workshop is to create 3+ images using some of these classic approaches keeping light falloff (Inverse square law) in mind all while keeping communication with the subject. Let's also work on our posing to bring impact in their portrait using and working with composition in the frame: Butterfly lightingRembrandt LightingBroad lightingShort lightingModel Subjects: TiaraTBATBA What to bring (if you have them*): CameraYour camera's manual (if its a new camera.)Color target / grey card *Light meter*Portrait lens range between 50mm - 105mm*Agenda: Introduction / Inspiration / Planning Setup and lightingWorking with the subjects using proven techniquesThis workshop is for all levels of photographers, after this workshop you will be more comfortable capturing portraits and growing as a photographer.
