PHOTOGRAPHY

Courses and Classes

Our hands-on photography workshops will help you stay engaged, keep you photographing and let you improve your skills in a fun and hands-on way. All workshops take place on a Saturday morning for 2 hours, and we hold at least one per month. These workshops are a great way to learn about photography on an ongoing basis. While each workshop is self contained, some build on each other. The greatest benefit is gained by participating in all of them. - Of course.

Posing for Portraits

Mastery

Posing for Portraits

If you've ever struggled to pose people for a photo, believe me, you are not alone. Ideally, you want your subject to look comfortable and to have natural body language that still looks flattering. And a pleasant facial expression, of course. Sometimes it feel like when you get two of those things right, the third one slips from your grasp, and the whole thing falls apart. It can be frustrating.

There is an art to getting appealing poses out of your subjects. In our Posing for Portraits workshop we'll show you our tried-and-true ground up approach that starts you out on the right foot. Or the left one, if you’d like. By placing the feet first, you’ll have a much better chance to get the body looking relaxed and comfortable. We’ll show you how to pose anyone for their portrait.

What we’ll look at:

• The ground rules for posing people

• The dos and don'ts for portrait posing

• Why you’d want to start with placing the feet first

• Posing tricks that’ll help you make your clients look their best

• How you can quickly check if your posing works
