A beautiful portrait can give us insight into the expression, personality and mood of a subject. The focus is usually on the face but context and background can be included.

This course offers participants a special opportunity to learn about studio portrait photography. Not only will you get practical advice on lighting using umbrellas, soft boxes and reflectors, you'll also learn how to direct a model and posing techniques. A friendly review and suggestions for your images will follow.

Students can expect to:

  • learn the keys to portrait photography;

  • learn about studio lighting techniques;

  • get hands-on experience with practical assignments;

  • participate in a friendly critique of their work.

Course Requirements

A camera that can be set in manual mode.
