There is hardly a more difficult subject to capture than a portrait, yet the skill of making someone look good and feel more at ease in front of your camera is something you can learn. This workshop is designed for photographers who want to gain a more formal understanding of portrait photography. Students will gain insight into the key elements that professional portrait photographers take into account before clicking the shutter. Whether you are interested in pursuing portrait photography professionally or you just want to know how to get past someone's "camera face," this program will show you how, with a keen eye for the quality of light and the careful placement of your subject, you can go from snapshots to compelling portraits of your subjects. Topics to be covered include: philosophy and goals of the portrait photographer; lens selection; dealing with harsh light; use of reflectors and diffusers; metering; getting to the best pose; and engaging with your subject.
