Natural Light Portraiture

$315.00  

Please check back schedules in spring!

PhotoTrainer Natural Light Workshop invites you to challenge yourself to grow as a photographer in a fabulous setting. Models, Cameras, and Natural Light; That’s right, only natural light in a 1920’s French Mediterranean style mansion.

Learn to work with light, your camera’s meter, and your brain. Explore single light source, contrast, shadow and fill light, explore these chiaroscuro and film noir lighting styles “au natural” in a timeless location. I will explain and demonstrate in a variety of interesting settings, and then give you time to shoot in this splendid place.

Mid day we break for lunch. Bring your own lunch, or go to Erik’s Deli right across the street if you like sandwiches.
In the Afternoon we continue with a natural light demos, in and outdoors and more shooting, with my supervision and kindly tutelage.

At this point you will shoot for the rest of the day with my help and working together in teams – shooting and assisting. You will get lots of time with the experienced models. I will be revolving you through Models and Settings so you get a good variety of portfolio grade photographs. This popular class is limited to 6, and tends to fill up quickly. This class has a follow-up evening session the Thursday after at PT World Headquarters from 7:00-9:00pm. Each student shares images from the day’s shoot. Please make sure you mark this on your calendar as it is most helpful and even more fun than the workshop day.

The field workshops are designed for people who have taken either the  Jumpstart Evening Class or the Jumpstart Deluxe Class. Or, if you are quite comfortable in Manual Mode, you are welcome to join us. If you have any questions at all call me, Tom (650) 325-8120.

Please note this workshop is for DSLR/M cameras. See the sidebar note!
