Portraiture Course

October 11, 2010

The first of our Portraiture Courses ends this week, which is real shame as it has been a great one to teach. The course is taught by Kevin and Natasha who both have very different personal approaches to Portrait photography.

We look at different bodies of work by big name Portrait photographers each week and give some insight into what makes their work so strong and identifiable. As we keep the classes small- maximum 6 students, we are then able to construct 2 different lighting set-ups and portrait scenarios each week.

This week we were focussing on slowing down the session, building on observation skills, and trying to add some strength to the images. I think each of the students below have managed to find a differing viewpoint and also show that ‘something else’ in their image, that defines their own visual language.

The model is Ottavia, who may be known to anyone in Brighton that attends Life Drawing classes- this is his first experience of sitting for Photography Portraits but I think he has a tremendous presence in these shots.

I will write-up a full summary when the final week is over and I have the students best images in.

    Probably shouldn’t comment on the studio’s blog !, but these are amazing ! I hadn’t seen any of the shots that Kevin was raving about after last weeks session until now and I so impressed.
