“A good explanation of portraiture and lighting”

written by Jaquans443 on 11/08/2015

Attended August 2015. Although billed as intermediate it is not difficult to keep pace with Rory's excellent explanation of portraiture, provided you know how to handle your camera. Rory starts with basic lighting setups, progressing to two light combinations with a variety of backgrounds and creating a spectrum of moods. The atmosphere is informal, there are plenty of opportunities to ask questions and Rory's initial review of portraiture through the ages (e.g. Holbein's flattery of Henry VIII) sets the scene for a very worthwhile day. If you don't come away with some images that you want to keep, and more confidence in your own ability to photograph portraits then you must be reluctant to ask questions.
