Portrait Photography *In-Person* *NEW*

This one-day intensive workshop focuses on developing the skills required to make successful photographs of people. The students will learn about the use of light, composition, pose, and gesture and discuss different approaches to portrait-making depending on their interests and intentions. While the workshop is centered around building practical skills, we will also talk about the relationship between subject and photographer, how to find people to photograph, and how to use portraiture for storytelling. The students are expected to know the basic functions of their chosen camera. Both DSLR and phone camera photographers are welcome. Instructor: Anastasia Sierra
