Mastering the Portrait

Steve will teach you the dynamics of portrait photography in this workshop and the various angles from which you can approach any assignment. Steve will be choosing portrait assignments focused at Castle Hill and one outside location at the dunes near Provincetown. Students will also have the opportunity to learn basic darkroom techniques.

A note from Steve:

Firstly I want to say there are no rights and wrongs to portraiture. I am a self taught photographer and so have learnt the hard way making my mistakes and indeed successes.  It’s important for you to experiment and above all make sure both you and your subject enjoy the experience. We are going to touch on the different elements I feel are important in portraiture; content, composition, facial expressions, approach, lighting, double portraiture and groups.
