PORTRAITS SIMPLIFIED: "Walk-Around Portraiture with Real People"
with JAY CATHELL and ERICA BECK assisting
FREE to ALL REGISTERED STUDENTS ($59 to non-students)
This exciting class will actively walk around the area, inside and out, to explore and observe locations that work for casual portraiture. The goal will be to show you what to look for when creating any image on location.
But is it that simple?
In this active mini-program, you'll learn to set up a shot and see what you have or what you may not have (but need), to make a dynamic image. What is the client or model wearing? How does it blend with the setting? Does your image tell a story? Does it provoke thought? Would you be able to 'name' your image? You'll learn to recognize where the subject, or focal point, works best within your composition. You'll learn to look for color palettes, distractions, the best light, and more. And you'll capture a few images along the way to improve your eye and make those images that have impact.
You'll need your camera, lens of your choice, flash trigger (if using Godox you can fire my flash). We will have reflector, scrim and gray card. Bring your light meter if you have one. (do you know how to calibrate it?)

ABOUT INSTRUCTOR
Ken is the Field Services Manager and lead instructor for Tamron USA who has had nationwide gallery showings of his portrait and landscape photography.
Ken turned his lens toward the American landscape, traveling extensively throughout the United States.
Though he had never confined his photography to one genre, it was during this time that he realized the expressive potential and beauty of landscape photography.
The results were a consistent output of breathtaking photographs that continually challenged the boundaries of the genre; a snow-covered buffalo staring ominously out of the frame,
surreal rock forms in Joshua National Park that appear as if out of a sci-fi film, innumerable variations in light spilling through the depths of Antelope Canyon...Ken had found his calling
