A four-hour, hands-on portrait masterclass for beginner and intermediate photographers - covering the lighting setups and direction techniques that separate a forgettable portrait from one that holds the room.
You'll work alongside photographer Rory Lewis and two professional models, moving between live lighting demonstrations, short lecture segments, and your own time behind the camera. Across the session, Rory will build and break down multiple setups in real time, walk through how to direct a subject with confidence (especially when they're nervous), and show how small changes in light, angle, and posing transform the feeling of a frame.
Expect to shoot, ask questions, and watch the craft happen up close. Bring your camera. Leave with portfolio-worthy work and a much clearer sense of how a working portrait photographer actually thinks on set.
