Creative Portrait Workshop with XANU

Creative Portrait Photography with Eric Peng & Xanu

Before stepping onto set for the music video production workshop, join Eric Peng, Sony Digital Imaging Advocate, for an inspiring portrait photography session featuring music artist Xanu.

This workshop is designed to introduce you to the fundamentals of portrait photography while exploring creative techniques used in modern artist shoots. Working with Xanu as your subject, you’ll learn how to shape light, direct talent, and craft visually striking portraits in a controlled studio-style environment.

A key focus of the session will be creative RGB lighting, allowing you to experiment with colour, mood, and atmosphere to elevate your images beyond standard portraiture. Whether you’re new to portrait photography or looking to refine your skills, this hands-on experience will help you build confidence behind the camera.

This workshop is presented in partnership with Sony and Croydon Camera House

• Fundamentals of portrait lighting
