Outdoor Portraiture Photography with George Simian – Los Angeles

Join Samy’s Camera for this hands-on photography workshop with models including pre-class lecture, model shoot & post-class review session.

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 workshop includes a lecture that will cover topics including 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.

During the hands-on shoot, small groups limited to 4 students will photograph models, rotating locations so that everyone has a chance to photograph different models in different activities.

Workshop Schedule:

Saturday, September 20th, Lecture and Model Shoot 11 am – 4 pm.

Monday, September 22nd Live Online Review/Critique at 7 pm
