What are portraits and why are they important? Is a portrait simply a headshot or is there more to it? Is it the same as a documentary photograph of someone or does that not capture something? What’s the difference between a pretty picture and something more substantial – an intimate portrait of someone, showing character and beauty, the essence of a person, a deep view into who they are?
We will talk about these issues and others in my upcoming class on portraits and will get hands-on experience making portraits with a professional model in my studio, using my lighting equipment. This includes two Alienbees B800 lamps, backgrounds and other equipment. (Be sure to watch for my upcoming “Build Your Own Home Studio” class as well.)
The date is not set at this time but it will be a weekend day toward the middle of September and will be two or three hours in length, so everyone has the opportunity to use the lights and work with a model. Email me to get updates to this, or else subscribe to my RSS feed.
