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. You will be creating five completely different looks from your model(s) using a wide variety of photographic and lighting techniques. From creating silhouettes to using gels. 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.

Tonight at the Welshot portfolio building session it is all about the props, from clothes to furniture, from backgrounds to accessories. Our model will be sporting a number of different looks with at least two costume/outfit changes. You will be learning how to positron your furniture, props, accessories and lighting to compliment your model and give you the best possible composition for your photograph. You will be using studio mains, and off camera flash lighting techniques in the studio itself as well as using the buildings features to capture your portrait photos for your portfolio.

Portrait Photography – Friday Night is Studio Night – July Session at the Welshot Creative Hub. Tonight our model is a trained dancer (ballet) who will be rocking the studio, in a wide variety of ballet poses, wearing a selection of authentic dance costumes (including tutus) and props. You will be learning how to set-up, use and work the lighting specifically for full body portraiture. We will also be showing you how you can create your own simple but effective backdrops at home using easily sourced items as props without costing you a fortune. From learning how to pose your model to the best lighting (types of) and modifiers to use to make the images you want to create. From using props, backgrounds, and gels to understanding the correct settings, camera functions, lenses, and focal lengths to use for portraiture and studio photography.

Cosplay Meets Photography – Chester Photographic Academy Evening

It’s all about portraiture photography with a difference at this Welshot Photographic Academy Evening in Chester! If you want to learn about lighting and how to use it effectively for the different effects it can give you, then this is the session for you. From using one light, two lights, then three, then four lights, you will learn how to “Build” your set, taking your photos as you go along and seeing the differing results that each stage gives you. We will also be adding gels into the mix as well as modifiers. If that’s not enough, your model(s) will be Cosplayers – dressed in unique costumes which will provide you with vibrant fun characters to capture in your camera while learning/honing your portraiture skills. We can promise you that you will leave this photography adventure with having learnt a thing or three and a memory card full of images that you will be proud to have in your portfolio.
