About the event
I am pleased to announce our 2nd Melbourne Outdoors Portraits Workshop.
It will be a two-and-a-half hour session on understanding the key elements of lighting in portrait photography. I will teach different ways of using national light and show how a minor modification in light and shadows can turn a simple photo into a moody dramatic storytelling image.
This time I will also demonstrate how to shoot straight into the sun to get beautiful rim lighting using golden hour. We will also use off-camera flash. Flash and trigger will be provided.
There will be 2 agency standard/agency female models available during the whole session to shoot with.
Covid Safe Instructions:
1. All attendees must be in good health without any COVID symptoms. Anyone with fever or cold will be requested to leave the workshop.
2. As per Victorian state laws, all attendees must wear a face mask during the whole workshop. Models will be allowed to remove their face masks during the shoot.
3. Physical distancing and density requirements such as 1.5 meter distancing from each other and models.
