This course, taught by Soraya Zaman, is about diving deeper and beyond classic portraiture.聽By working with your subjects聽with a more open, creative approach, you can create imagery that represents and articulates them and their essence in a聽captivating way.聽
You聽will learn how to work with聽your聽subjects to create a shoot concept that is driven by who they are and what they are passionate about.聽This approach is about a collaboration rather than the photographer creating a vision for the subject.聽 You will learn to work together to flesh out a creative idea and discuss what themes you are working towards.聽聽 Who is this class for?聽 The class is for those who want to explore photographing people in a more creative and conceptual manner.聽 It will require beginner to intermediate camera knowledge and a sense of adventure, experimentation, exploration and fun! This course is useful in helping you get more artistic and creative with your photography and to experiment with ideas in the representation of an individual outside of straight/classic portraiture.聽 This will help you become a better photographer overall as you exercise the 鈥渢hink outside of the box鈥 muscle. You will need:聽 * Smartphone or DSLR Camera * Photo Editing Software: I use Capture One and Adobe Photoshop, but any editing software you have will suffice聽 * A subject for your photo shoot * Props, objects or equipment that will enable your creative process for the shoot So join me, grab your gear and let's get started!
