PO131 Fearless Photography: Photographing People

People are one of the most powerful subjects of photographs…friends, family, familiar characters, and interesting passing strangers. We humans love to see ourselves captured in memorable moments, so, in this course, we’ll focus on how to capture personalities and how to prepare for the "decisive moment’ as people do the the things they do that make us all so touchingly human. We’ll discuss how to connect with people (in formal, candid, or street settings), how to manage lighting conditions, and how to ensure strong composition so that the essence of the subject comes through. 

The class assignments will be reviewed in the second session.

Course Requirements:

• Open to all levels—beginners and experienced photographers alike.
• Any type of camera is welcome, including smartphones.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a two session course, and you must register for the first session to participate in the second session.
