In the Natural Light Portrait Workshop, you'll learn to see your surroundings in a whole new way, using the natural elements of a location to shape light as if you were in a studio. Together, we’ll dive into the three foundational rules of portraiture, explore techniques for creating timeless classical portraits, light and airy looks, and even harness the power of hard light to your advantage.

You'll also develop an eye for finding the best lighting and locations, learning to spot and avoid elements that might seem appealing at first glance but can create challenges for achieving professional looking images.

This class is all about helping you grow as a photographer and build confidence in your ability to create stunning portraits anywhere.

Group classes are no longer available; we currently accept one-on-one, private bookings only.
