Private Photography Course: Mastering Portraits - Three Evenings/Days

What transforms a photograph into a stunning studio portrait?

This captivating question will be explored in depth during our specialized portrait photography course.

Experience an exclusive private photography course led by an experienced visual artist and photographer with a rich artistic and technical background. This intensive course takes place over three evenings in a professionally equipped photo studio, where you will discover the secrets of professional portrait lighting, such as high-key and low-key photography, using studio flash and LED lighting.

Evening 1: The Essentials of Studio Lighting with a Dummy Mannequin

Embark on your journey into portrait photography with a comprehensive introduction to studio lighting. Using a dummy mannequin, you'll immerse yourself in the fundamentals, allowing you to focus on understanding your camera settings and lighting techniques without the pressure of working with a live model. This hands-on approach enables you to experiment freely, observing how different lighting setups influence your images.

Evening 2: The Art of High-Key Photography with a Model

On the second evening, delve into the enchanting world of high-key photography. Here, you’ll learn to create light, airy portraits that radiate brightness and a sense of buoyancy. We’ll guide you through adjusting your camera and flash settings for high-key effects and demonstrate how to position studio lighting for the perfect harmony of light and shadow.

Evening 3: The Mastery of Low-Key Photography with a Model

The final evening is dedicated to low-key photography, where you will master the art of writing with shadows. You will learn how to create dramatic effects with hard light, adding depth and crafting powerful, characterful portraits. This session offers engaging insights into working with dark tones and emphasizing shapes and shadows through focused hard light.

Throughout the course, we will also delve deeper into working with models, from directing them to choosing the right poses to express your artistic vision. This private course offers a wonderful opportunity to learn in a one-on-one setting, with personal feedback and guidance from a professional portrait photographer.

This private course is perfect for students looking to sharpen their skills in portrait photography, improve, and learn how to use studio lighting to create both high-key and low-key portraits with an artistic flair. Under the expert guidance of our instructor, you will elevate your photographic skills and knowledge to the next level.
