About the event
Join Keerti for a creative studio portrait workshop exploring how a single-colour palette can be used to create bold, cohesive and expressive images.
We’ll work with a professional model and a carefully styled monochromatic setup, bringing together the wardrobe, backdrop and lighting within one colour palette. You’ll learn how to simplify the frame, direct attention towards the model and use lighting to enhance mood, shape and expression.
Participants will photograph the model in small groups of 5, allowing everyone time to experiment with different compositions and camera settings.
All camera brands are welcome. This workshop is suitable for photographers with a basic understanding of manual camera settings but not limited to - if you are learning to use your camera in Manual mode - it will be helpful.
Techniques covered
- Creating portraits with a monochromatic colour palette
- Working with a model in a studio environment
- Using lighting to shape the face and create separation
- Choosing aperture and camera settings for studio portraits
- Exploring composition, posing and creative framing
What to bring
- Bring your camera, a fully charged battery and an empty memory card. Portrait lenses such as a 50mm, 85mm or 24–70mm are ideal.
