About this Event
We all take more photos of people than of any other subject – but we can make them much, much better with planning for the activity, the light, and the camera settings.
This three-park workshop includes a live lecture via Zoom on Thursday June 24th at 7pm. The lecture will cover capturing models candidly or engaging them directly with the camera; the quality of soft vs. hard light, the direction of the light, and the use of reflectors; and the best camera settings for more effectively focusing attention on the subject.
The hands-on shoot will be on Saturday June 26th from 12pm-4pm in Pasadena close to the Samy's Camera in Pasadena. Small groups limited to 4 will photograph models, rotating locations so that everyone has a chance to photograph different models in different activities.
The workshop will conclude on June 28th at 7pm with a live online review and critique session about the images made and what approaches worked best.
