Portrait Photography Boot Camp

About this workshop

This is great workshop for amateur, semiprofessional and professional photographers. Students will spend six action packed hours learning the ins and outs of portrait photography, both in the studio and on location (weather permitting). Students will learn largely by hands-on practice under the guidance of our instructors combined with short lectures. Students will use their cameras* with the help of one of our instructions to create portraits during the workshop. All the methods and techniques taught in this workshop are used in the studio and on-location on location portrait shoots.

Many students offer to bring a friend or family member to model for this workshop. Due to space limitations we cannot allow everyone to bring a model, however if you would like to bring a model we will attempt to accommodate your request to bring a model. Please see below in “Requirements” for details about bringing a model.
