You like photographing people. Ordinary people. Close-ups that capture their expression, their soul. Formal photos, daring poses with a studied style, family photos, group photos… You like portraits.
Artistic, corporate, editorial, book, social media... Each portrait needs its own light to convey the desired emotion and my goal is for you to know the technique and the right equipment to achieve it.
I propose a weekend that will immerse you in the world of light. We will discuss the fundamental aspects of light that are involved in taking a photograph and that determine the character and intention of a portrait.
An intensive workshop in a cozy professional studio, forming part of a small and exclusive group of only 6 participants, with enough time and dedication to see and practice different portrait styles, with schemes of one, two and even three flashes, making the most of all the modifiers and accessories that we have in the studio, carrying out your own and exclusive practice at the end of the workshop.
We will also talk about equipment, the one that best suits your needs and budget, so that, whether you already have a flash unit or are thinking of purchasing one, you can take that definitive step that allows you to take not only the photos you can, but the ones you have always imagined.
