This is a 6 hour workshop that includes both on-location photography with models as well as post-processing of your images in our classroom. Each student should bring their own computer with Adobe Lightroom Creative Cloud installed to learn how to edit their photos to get the best results possible!
During our photo shoots, our small group of participants will have access to experienced models! We'll cover posing and scene set up as well as all the little tips and tricks to help bring out the BEST in your subjects! Still having trouble with lighting in your portrait work? We will cover both natural and artificial light, how to properly use reflectors, diffusing ambient light. Our introductory natural-light portrait class gives students the basics of lighting. This course takes it a step up! (Note: Aperture Academy Natural Light Course or previous portrait experience is required, or you are comfortable with the basics of your camera, to take this intermediate class.)
After a fun filled morning working with the models and capturing great images on the camera, we will meet inside the spacious Aperture Academy gallery where you will take those photos to the next level! Your instructor will guide you through all the steps of a successful portrait photographer. Topics covered will include; image selection, portrait specific post processing techniques, and final print file preparation.
Using Adobe Lightroom, your instructors will help you learn how to enhance and edit your portraits to make them stand above! You will leave not only with a greater knowledge of the processing side of portrait photography but also several print-ready files ready to add to your portfolio! This class is perfect for those who are looking to improve their lighting skills & subject interaction, refine their workflow & portrait production as well as build their portfolios.
