Authentic Portraits - A Workshop
December 7, 2019 - Provo, Utah
SOLD OUT - A portrait workshop with Justin Hackworth - SOLD OUT
I’m pleased as punch to announce a full day portrait photography workshop on December 7, 2019 in Provo, Utah.
If you’re interested in photographing people but your current pictures lack that authenticity and the emotional zing you’re looking for, then this workshop is going to be right up your alley. I would love to show you how to up your portrait game.
What we will cover
How to put people at ease to elicit authentic responses, and what to say to them so their apprehension melts away
What are the two elements that give a portrait soul
How posing guides will ruin your photography
Photography is a language, and how knowing/understanding the visual language will make or break your photography.
Lighting scenarios
Gear, lens selection
What makes a great portrait
A funny story about Santa. Trust me, it’s relevant.
How come what you leave out is often more important that what you put in.
What Else
Not only will we talk about all this, I'll have models you can photograph so you can put in practice all the stuff we talked about. You’ll leave with a much better understanding of how to make compelling, interesting portraits. You’ll know how to practice on your own, to continue developing this important skill. Class size is kept small so you can get all your questions answered.
Who Should Come
This is not a beginning photography class. It is expected that participants have an understanding of how to use their camera already, with a basic knowledge of aperture and shutter speed.
Photographers who have some experience with portrait photography and want a new approach or want to learn to make portraits that are more meaningful that the work they are currently producing. Amateurs and professionals are welcome. It is not necessary to be a working photographer to attend. The only requirement is that you already know how to use a camera and are familiar with f-stops and shutter speeds.
Can’t I just watch YouTube?
There’s lots of information online about how to take better portraits, but much of that info is so generic. And you don’t want generic! Also, it won’t teach you how to take portraits with real soul and meaning. The information you’ll get online is often irrelevant, misguided, unhelpful or straight up inaccurate. I’ll be focusing on what I’ve learned and practiced in my own business for the last 20 years to help you make meaningful and memorable portraits with actionable steps I’ve never seen taught anywhere else. If that resonates with you, sign up here.
