Artistic Studio Portraits

This is a great workshop, not just because we will get great images, but we will also go beyond the photos and touch on post photo workflow. The Photoshop techniques used to help give the images the painterly feel.

Beginners and novice will really benefit from this workshop that has a little bit of theory and lots of practical shooting time.

In this workshop, we will be shooting with studio strobes, but we will also use natural light to get the same effect. We have triggers for all camera makes, so you only need to bring your camera ( camera must have a "hot-shoe" to accept our trigger. If you are not sure, just tell me your camera model and I will let you know.
The first 15 - 20 minutes we will talk about the equipment being used and how we position it to create the lighting we want. We will also be talking as bout posing, but our wonderful model, Daria Sells will work wonders with her experience and help get some great posing.
The next 3 hours is spend shooting and the final 1/2 hour will be workflow.

Sample images of the style of portrait can also be seen at this link:
