Capturing Authentic Portraits with MikePhotographs

We’ve all been there; you’re scrolling through your feed and you’re suddenly stopped by a portrait that seems to jump right off the screen. You can’t quite place it, but there is a magical quality about it that draws you in. That brief connection you feel is real and, when done with intention, is by design.
Sometimes, the best portraits aren’t taken with top-of-the-line cameras. They are often a product of connection, compassion, and the elements of a shoot that occur before the camera is ever turned on. This workshop explores the importance of human connection and empathy as major components in a photoshoot. Join Mike as he shares his creative process and how a collaborative spirit can decide the trajectory of a photoshoot.
From initial outreach to in-studio interactions, discover how your approach can directly impact how a subject feels, reacts, and, ultimately, photographs.
