Natural Light Portraits Meetup
Saturday 12 July
Ilchester Pl - 10am - 2 Hours
Chris Carr
This meet-up will explore how we can take beautiful portraits using natural light and backgrounds. We will explore how to recognise flattering light and how to manipulate it whilst shooting in a less controlled environment than a studio. We will explore how we can work collaboratively with our subject to achieve a portrait that captures their personality and style. We will also look at posing and setting your subject at ease. Technical learning points will include accurate focusing and metering for skin tones.
Bring a family member or a friend as your model.
