When we look at all the great portraits made throughout history, most of them have one thing in common – they’re simple. You don’t need complicated lighting setups and expensive cameras to make great portraits. This workshop will give you the skills and confidence  you need to allow yourself to keep things uncomplicated. We will begin by discussing what it is that makes a portrait successful and will end with you creating beautifully simple and stunning portraits of lives models.

This workshop is not for the timid or faint of heart. This workshop is not for those who are looking  for a leisurely paced social event in order to fill some free time. This workshop will beat you up and break you down. This workshop will make you work. This workshop might reduce you to tears and it might make you use words your mother would slap you for using. But … THIS WORKSHOP WILL MAKE YOU A BETTER PHOTOGRAPHER.

This intensive six week workshop will encourage you to question and explore the reason you make photographs. Through in-class peer review and constructive criticism under the guidance of instructor Grant Leighton, you will see your personal vision for your own photography emerge. This workshop is as much about self-discovery as it is about bettering yourself as a photographer.

The end result will be a coherent and cohesive body of your work printed in your very own self-published book.

Class participation and making new photographs each and every week is mandatory.
