This three-park workshop includes a Live Lecture, a Hands-On Photoshoot with a Model, and a Critique/Review Session Live on Zoom.
About this Event

We all take more photos of people than of any other subject – but we can make them much, much better with planning for the activity, the light, and the camera settings.

This workshop includes a lecture that will cover topics including capturing models candidly or engaging them directly with the camera; the quality of soft vs. hard light, the direction of the light, and the use of reflectors; and the best camera settings for more effectively focusing attention on the subject.

During the hands-on shoot, small groups limited to 4 students will photograph models, rotating locations so that everyone has a chance to photograph different models in different activities.

Workshop Schedule:

Saturday, April 19th – In-Person Lecture and Model Shoot at 11 am-4 pm
Monday, April 21st – Live Online Review/Critique at 7 pm
