Event Overview

Portrait photography covers everything from family portraits to weddings to pin-up to newborns. Not only do you want to capture what someone looks like, but you want to capture some of their personality in the photograph too. Crying toddler? No problem - we'll create a lifestyle portrait. Worried about a double chin? Learn posing techniques that will show the jawline. Feel like your subject can't stop fake-smiling? We'll talk about getting a subject to open up and show genuine emotion.

This class is for anyone who wants to take better pictures of people and has a basic understanding of how their camera works. This class is taught as a small group with a live model that will help demonstrate posing. Each student will also get a chance to capture a portrait of the model. After that, we will take about 30 mins to practice our newly learned skills, and then reconvene for Q&A and one-on-one on-camera critique (optional).

What to Bring

A camera - a point and shoot is fine, but you'll get more out of the class if you bring a DSLR with adjustable controls.
