You will explore the portrait and the many ways to photograph people, from historical traditions to contemporary trends. Become more advanced in the use of studio and location lighting equipment and techniques. Discover new ways to set-up a portrait and establish a comfortable rapport with your subject, as you capture intimate and revealing moments and true character. You will photograph your fellow students, local residents, members of The Workshops faculty, groups, strangers, and models. The emphasis throughout the class will be to develop each photographer s personal vision and photographic personality.
Admission is by portfolio review.
