Natural Light Workshop & Portfolio Build Saturday, June 1st 2024 @2-5pm

After a year of hosting many successful photography workshops, I'm excited to introduce a fresh course that delves deeper into the realm of natural light – a workshop that has been highly requested. Join me at the most stunning location 30min from Brisbane CBD as we cover my favourite lighting techniques, master the art of creative direction and capture timeless, high-quality imagery.

What you will learn ⚘

- Discover how to capture a diverse range of photographs and evoke various moods all within a single location.

- Learn how to handle harsh sun and soft golden hour lighting and mastering techniques for both back-lit and front-lit photographs, including creative effects such as lens flares and framing.

- My top strategies for discovering ideal locations and choosing the perfect scenery to match your client's brief or mood board and discover the art of finding beauty in seemingly "ugly" locations and mastering the skill of working creatively within constraints.

- Gain proficiency in manipulating natural light to achieve desired effects by working with a range of diffusers and reflectors of different sizes.

- Discover effective techniques for coordinating diverse colours and patterns with the background, while also mastering your in-camera settings to ensure your subject remains the focal point of the photograph.

- Practice the art of directing your model and maintaining continuous communication throughout the shoot, ensuring their comfort on set and a clear understanding of your creative vision.

- Master the skill of refining a RAW image right from the start, to capture the perfect shot by adjusting your in camera settings. This approach minimizes the necessity for extensive post-processing and touch-ups.
