Julia Dean Photo Workshops
April 13, 2011-May 18, 2011 Six sessions on Wednesdays from 7pm-10pm Enrollment limit: 15 students Capturing a person’s essential nature and character while holding true to the basic principals of photography is the portrait photographer’s greatest challenge. In this six-week intensive workshop, open to all levels, students will learn techniques to unmask their subjects and encourage them to reveal their true identity. Participants will learn how to break the ice, gain trust, and establish a safe and comfortable environment so that their subjects are willing and eager to project a natural and realistic self-image. Establishing good communication and a collaborative spirit is vital to the process, but equally important is the ability to produce a distinctive look, mood and setting that will manifest the subject’s unique personality and character traits. In addition, students will learn how lighting, composition, cropping, perspective and most importantly, intention - what you’re trying to say about your subject - contributes to the overall visual rendering. |
