| Creating a compelling portrait involves more than just technical skills; it requires a deep understanding the context, and the intended use of the image. This course delves into the art and technique of portrait photography, emphasizing the importance of knowing who you're photographing, why, and how the final image will be utilized. ​Whether an interior or exterior, the photograph reveals or reflects something poignant about a person. Body language, wardrobe, and facial expression; when all the elements synchronize, the picture can become timeless. Participants are expected to have a foundational knowledge of camera operations, including lenses, exposure, and lighting. Utilizing a camera with interchangeable lenses is recommended to fully explore the course content. | |
