Portraits

If you want to stop taking "snapshots" of your family and pets and want to start taking actual portraits, then this class is for you!  We will show you the basics for individuals and groups, children and pets, and indoor and outdoor portraits.  Our course will cover composition, posing, and lighting -- the most important aspects for portraiture -- and more!

In this class we will discuss::
  • Camera lenses and equipment for Portraits
  • Camera mode
  • Settings (aperture and depth of field)
  • Posing and arranging
  • Composition
  • Foregrounds and Backgrounds
  • Lighting
  • Golden Hour
  • Indoor (Studio) vs. Outdoor portraits
  • Individual vs. Group portraits
  • Pet portraits
  • Supplemental lighting
  • Continuous vs. Strobe/Flash lighting
  • Challenges and Tips/Tricks
  • Basics of post-production (Lightroom and Photoshop; using presets; luminance vs. vibrance vs. saturation)
  • Shutter remotes and camera timers

If you take what you learn in this class and put it into practice, you will never have to buy portraits of your children or family ever again.  We will even provide you with a list of suggested photo locations and instructions on how to include yourself in the photo!
