Portrait Photography Meetup

Saturday 25 March

Richmond - 10am - 2 Hours

Whether you wish to up your selfie game or begin developing a portfolio, this workshop will help you learn the basics of portrait photography and push your creativity and technical understanding. Learn which settings are best to use, how to select the best locations, and what lighting and poses highlight a model's best features. We will also learn how to build rapport to get the best reactions and genuine emotions from a person. This is a great opportunity to collaborate and learn alongside other photographers! You'll work together to create portraits and bounce off new ideas. This is an intermediate course that assumes you understands the basics of photography and controlling your camera.
