Portrait of the Artist

Taught by:

Tory Williams

Offered:

Thursday September 14th - CLOSED
Friday September 15th

Experience level: All Levels

We are, each of us, artists of the life we are living. Every person you meet has a light within and a great photographer knows exactly how to capture the spark, the wry smile, a unique tilt to the head that conveys the individuality of the subject.

You can be that great photographer.

In this class, we are focusing on the creation of the portrait, which naturally, will also inform your explorations with self-portraits.

Over the course of the day, we will address working with natural or artificial light, framing the shot, composition, how to achieve a consistent look and thereby establish your own personal style of portraiture, the elusive yet critical component of how to make your subjects relax and be themselves in front of the lens, and most of all — telling a story with your image.

This is a fun, perfectly paced workshop for anyone who wants to develop their ability to consistently create compelling portraits. In addition to group instruction, there will be lots of one-on-one feedback throughout the class

No flash experience necessary but a basic understanding of the DSLR a must!

PLEASE NOTE: Although you will surely learn more ways to use your camera over the course of the day, this is not a technical class about how to use your camera. Rather, we will be focused on how to shape the shot and take photographs that thrill you and best express your vision, your intention.

Kit fee: none

It was such a disappointment to cancel last year ( It was such a disappointment to cancel last year (amid all the rest of 2020) so it is no small delight that we WILL be welcoming @maralicoleknits to the lake in June where she will be sharing an original shawl pattern and teaching brioche! I love her sock pattern here and the message from her launch last July about "just keep putting one foot in front of the other." Indeed. #squam2021
