Portraiture & Lighting
Portraiture is all about personality. More than a mode on your SLR, a good portrait is an expression of our humanity, as it provides a glimpse into the life of another. The wonder of a moment—whether a candid moment of victory, or the posed elegance of grandeur—bears an image of the soul. If a picture truly is worth a thousand words, what do you want to say?
If portraiture is made up of personality, then photography is all about light. Every day, great images are created of a thousand and one different subjects, but each one has a single defining quality—the masterful use of light. As a human you require light to see, but as a photographer, have you learned to see light?
Come and join us for Portraiture & Lighting, yet another week-long photographic exploration from IPS. During this week you’ll gain experience in the creative use of both studio- and available light, learn the ins and outs of artistic portraiture, and discover the secrets of a successful studio workflow. Professional photographers who have “been there” and “done that” will guide you through each aspect of the week, in a manner you’ve come to expect from an IPS workshop.
