Editorial Portrait Workshop

Elevate your portrait photography through editorial thinking, professional lighting, and intentional art direction.

Join us at Lunar Studio Sydney for an immersive editorial portrait workshop designed to help you create sophisticated, magazine-style and campaign-style imagery.

Working with a professional model on site, you’ll explore how to approach a shoot from concept through to execution — including lighting, posing, styling, composition, and the use of styling elements to create depth and visual layers within your images.

A key focus of the workshop is art direction — an essential skill for photographers looking to produce work that feels polished, intentional, and commercially relevant. We’ll break down how to make creative decisions on set, introduce elements that strengthen an image, and build a visual story rather than simply photographing a subject.

What we’ll cover

• Creating editorial and campaign-style portraits
• Professional studio lighting techniques and setups
• Working with a professional model and directing natural, confident poses
• Developing your art direction skills and creative eye
• Using styling, props, wardrobe, and environmental elements to create layers
• Building stronger compositions and more intentional visual narratives
• Understanding how to approach shoots when working with brands and commercial clients
• The creative process behind producing polished, professional imagery

Throughout the workshop, we’ll discuss the process behind creating work for brands, demonstrate practical techniques on set, and give you the opportunity to put these ideas into practice yourself.

Whether you’re looking to strengthen your portfolio, refine your editorial style, or elevate your commercial photography, this workshop is designed to help you create images with greater intention, direction, and impact.
