In this class, you will join me in learning how to create portraits. Not only will we discuss what they are but cover good and “bad” examples of them. We will also discuss the relationship between the subject and photographer and how vital that space is to create great photographs.  Portrait photography, also known as portraiture, is a type of photography that is meant to capture the essence and personality of a person - with the help of effective lighting, backdrops and poses. Portrait photography is where the subject not only is the main character of the story you're trying to tell, but the aim is to highlight and showcase who they are. You will follow me behind the scenes and I’ll show you step by step how I create portraits. You’ll learn pre-production, production (The fun part) and the post-production.
