Online Natural Light Portraiture - Simon Ellingworth

Cancelled.

Let multi-award winning Photographer; Simon Ellingworth; share his portraiture secrets with you. From the visual literacy of what you are trying to say and how to say it, to how to pose real people, approach strangers in the street, how to make the best of natural light, and how to develop more meaningful portraits.

Format:
This is a zoom based remote learning workshop that will be split into two parts over the course of a day. The first part will deliver the learning and key points above.
We will then break for two hours for lunch and for you to either practice your new-found skills should you have someone at home or outdoors with social distancing willing to pose, or to enable you to find 4 portraits you've already shot for the afternoon session where we will constructively review up to 4 images per student before wrapping up with a final Q&A.

Key Learning points:

- What is portraiture?
- Developing your vision.
- Viewer psychology
- What are you trying to say and how to say it?
- How to shoot total strangers in the street.
- Tips and tricks for communicating with your subject.

This workshop will be for 8 - 10 people only and will be the same as a face to face workshop, just from the comfort of your own home.  Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with working on-line the tutor will be there to guide you through each step.
