Monster Movie Cinematic Portraits photo workshop

Get ready to make movie magic!

Join us here at Dan's Camera City for a spooktacular workshop where we'll capture cinematic portraits inspired by some of our favorite movies for the halloween season. Whether you're a dedicated photography enthusiast or just looking to have some creepy fun, this hands-on workshop is perfect for all skill levels. Learn how to set the mood with lighting, pose your models for maximum impact, and edit your photos for that eerie vibe.

We'll start off in our studio classroom where you'll learn about camera settings and lighting design with plenty of hands-on examples. Then we'll move outside to create creepy scenes full of spooky fun.

In this workshop we'll cover:

• Working with off-camera flash and LEDs, creating light and shadow to set the mood
• Directing our models to create a dynamic sense of action
• Wardrobe, makeup, props, and setting the scene for creative effect

Suggested gear for this workshop:

• Any interchangeable lens camera
• Portrait-length lens for closeups (50-80mm)
• Medium-wide lens for environmental portraits (23-35mm)
• A standard zoom lens (e.g. 18-55mm or 24-70mm) will work just fine!
• Godox flash or radio trigger, if you already own one

You don't need to own a flash or any other lighting to attend this workshop, we'll provide everything. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to unleash your inner monster movie director!

Additional considerations
