Join Samy’s Camera for this hands-on photography workshop with models including pre-class lecture, model shoot & post-class review session.
We all take more photos of people than of any other subject – but we can make them much, much better with planning for the activity, the light, and the camera settings.
This workshop includes a lecture which will cover topics including capturing models candidly or engaging them directly with the camera; the quality of soft vs. hard light, the direction of the light, and the use of reflectors; and the best camera settings for more effectively focusing attention on the subject.
During the hands-on shoot, small groups limited to 4 students will photograph models, rotating locations so that everyone has a chance to photograph different models in different activities.
Workshop Schedule:
Saturday, November 2nd Lecture and Model Shoot 11 am-4 pm
Monday, November 4th Live Online Review/Critique at 7 pm
