THE IMPULSIVE (Intimate) PORTRAIT med JUST LOOMIS

Alle møter vi mennesker vi blir fasinert av og som får oss til å ta etter kameraet, men hvordan får du gode portretter av fremmende mennesker, du tilfeldigvis møter.

NORDphotography inviterer deg til å bli med på en lærerik opplevelse på SAGA 6-9 Oktober med a-ha fotografen Just Loomis.

Workshopen vil foregå på engelsk:
An intimate portrait happens when the photographer chooses a subject that they connect with on an emotional level. This workshop is about practicing approaching strangers, creating a relationship with your subject, and getting a powerful portrait in return.

We will test us on local people as models in the beginning of the workshop to build our confidence; before we head out on our mission to photograph strangers we meet.

Just will accompany each participant in the field and make suggestions as how to identify subjects and overcome the fear of approaching strangers. Just will also demonstration how to see and work with natural light.

Having worked with the prolific Helmut Newton, Just will offer students his unique perspective on the art of photography. He will give thoughtful image critique and feedback and offer assistance with editing in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.

This is a workshop suited for photographers on all levels.
