The Coffee Portrait Experience

The Coffee Portrait Experience

Join us for a relaxed and creative photography experience that combines great food, great company, and stunning lifestyle portrait photography.

We’ll begin the day by enjoying a delicious meal with coffee or your choice of drink—all included in your ticket. This is the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow photographers, share ideas, ask questions, and talk all things photography in a relaxed café environment.

After lunch, we’ll move into the hands-on photography session where you’ll photograph three professional models, each styled in a unique café lifestyle scene. You’ll learn how to create beautiful, natural-looking portraits using both LED continuous lighting and off-camera flash, while gaining practical experience you can apply to your own photography.

Throughout the workshop, you’ll also learn:

• How to confidently shoot in Manual Mode
• The best camera settings for lifestyle portraits
• How to balance ambient light with flash and LED lighting
• Tips for posing, composition, and creating authentic storytelling images
• How to work with different lighting setups in real-world environments

You’ll also have the opportunity to get hands-on with the latest Sony cameras and lenses, allowing you to test new gear and experience its features before making your next purchase.

Whether you’re a beginner wanting to move beyond Auto mode or an experienced photographer looking to refine your portrait and lighting techniques, The Coffee Portrait Experience offers the perfect blend of learning, creativity, networking, and portfolio-building.
