Art in Focus - Portrait Workshop

About the event

Here’s the updated version with the Sony gear included:

Art in Focus – Lifestyle Portrait Workshop

Step into the creative world of an artist and capture authentic lifestyle portraits that tell a story. In this immersive workshop, you’ll photograph a talented painter in their natural environment, documenting the passion, concentration, and emotion behind every brushstroke.

Working within a real artist’s studio, you’ll learn how to create compelling portraits that combine storytelling with creativity. Explore the relationship between the artist, their artwork, and their workspace while experimenting with both natural and artificial light to shape mood and atmosphere.

Throughout the session, we’ll use creative lighting techniques to produce cinematic and fine art-inspired portraits, showing you how to enhance texture, colour, and emotion. You’ll also receive guidance on composition, working with your subject, and using the studio environment to create powerful, engaging images.

You’ll also have the opportunity to get hands-on with the latest Sony cameras and lenses, giving you the chance to test new gear in a real-world creative environment while receiving practical guidance on how to make the most of its features.

Whether you’re looking to improve your portrait photography, expand your creative vision, or build a unique portfolio, this workshop offers an inspiring opportunity to photograph the artist behind the brush.
