HIGH PEAK PHOTO COURSES - OUTDOOR PORTRAITUREMon 07 Sep 2009
Location: BASLOW - BOOKING ESSENTAIL10AM - 4.30PM APPROX
To photograph a portrait that looks both natural and captivating can seem an impossible task to many but to capture the beauty of the human form whilst in an outdoor environment can be both fun and just as challenging as shooting indoors.
There are a number of basic elements to consider that are common to indoor and outdoor portraiture, such as how the subject fills the frame, what background to use, and what props, expressions and poses are appropriate, but when shooting outdoors there are other important elements to consider as well.
On our outdoor portraiture course you will have the opportunity to photograph our model in a variety of locations utilising the techniques that you have been taught.
