Another portrait Photography Course Success

We recently ran one of our popular portrait photography training courses at a small studio in Chelmsford, Essex with a great bunch of photographers. This workshop is the second stage of of beginners series and is always popular.

On the day we were fortunate to work with Zoe who is a local professional model who always delivers great energy and enthusiasm during shoots. For many people a training course isn’t always something that they relish and so we always try to ensure that our classes are fun, somewhat challenging but always extremely rewarding for our delegates. We intentionally run with small class sizes which means that everyone who attends gets plenty of hands on experience.

Throughout the course we ensure that we focus upon three core elements of photography – Technical skills, creative development and commercial awareness.

We started the day by looking at some basic lighting setups using just a single light and two lights all shot against a plain white background. These lighting plans are applicable for those looking to develop skills for their own enjoyment or alternatively looking to make a career out of photography.

In the afternoon we went on to look at posing of subjects, alternative lighting setups and using different backgrounds to creative alternative moods and effects. Zoe brought with her a series of different outfits and a selection of interesting props which further added to the day.

Our aim during the course is to ensure that delegates leave confident in the new found abilities, are able to conduct their own portrait session and have started to build their own portrait portfolio (possibly to show potential clients)

Late afternoon was spent looking at the commercial side of portrait photography, including marketing yourself, developing your own photography style, products to sell and pricing.

The course was concluded by looking at post production of images via Photoshop and Lightroom. It was great to see that all delegates produced some great images and thoroughly enjoyed the day, we look forward to seeing more of the work over the coming weeks and months.
