About this Event

Learn to create more interesting portraits. We'll discuss key points for planning a portrait, including its style and purpose—whether it's a natural portrait, a posed family photo, a formal headshot, or an artistic street shot. You'll learn how to use light to convey emotion and expression, understand focal length and its impact on facial features, choose the right gear and backgrounds, and more. Thomas will show how he sets up and interacts with a subject. You'll practice taking both individual and group portraits, focusing on light and posing using natural and studio lighting. You'll leave with the skills and inspiration to build your own Portrait Portfolio.
