Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this beginner photography class:

An environmental portrait creates the story of a person in their home, work or anywhere else that relates to who they are. A powerful environmental portrait tells the story of the person in one single image.  

In this one-week class, students will discover the tools and techniques used to create a unique, compelling, and technically proficient environmental portrait.  Topics covered will include learning the photographer-subject relationship, meaning how to talk to your subjects and direct them in a timely manner to capture them in their environment. Much like street photography, environmental photography is approached in a similar way. Further topics explored will be how to look for interesting elements in the surrounding environment and how to study light – both natural and strobe – to enhance your subject in their natural environment. The class will also entail a close examination of the works of Arnold Newman, Diane Arbus, Annie Leibowitz and other photographers who excelled in this arena.  

This course will include at least one field trip, TBD. Students/parents should be prepared to meet on location and provide their own transportation. In addition, students should wear comfortable shoes and expect to walk up to two or three miles for each trip. 

A digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera or digital mirrorless camera capable of manual control settings are highly recommended for this class. However, all types of cameras are welcome, including film cameras.
