One Face – Five Ways – Headshot Portraiture – Llandudno Photographic Academy Evening
Tonight at the Llandudno Photographic Academy Evening it’s all about Headshot Portraiture – shooting in the studio as well as out on location.

From shooting in black and white to creating bokeh in your portraits to using a single light – the only limiting factor will be your creativity. We will be using props such as car windows, guitars, mirrors, hats and scarves and you will even learn how to use the surroundings around as your background to your advantage. Studio mains flash, off camera flash and natural light will, again, help you to create differing looks to your photographs. Using shadows, natural and created in the studio will also help you to be creative and think outside the box while you make some really effective images.
