Everything About Portraits...

So You Can Photograph People Properly.

What's The Portrait Photography Course About?

It's about taking really good photos of people.

And taking portrait photos that both you and the person in the shot actually like.

On this intensive, one day, in person workshop, you will learn everything about portraits.

Well, actually you can't learn everything ever, but in one day you will learn a LOT about shooting portraits in loads of different ways.

We will look at some iconic portrait photographers and shoot portraits like them.

You'll work with natural light, as well as flash.

We'll shoot inside and outside.
