JUNE 22, 2025 | Creating Portraits on Location

$150.00

DATE: June 22, 2025 | 10 AM - 1 PM

LOCATION: Seattle, Registered attendees will receive location details via email.

FEE: $150

Improve your photography skills and learn to create portraits in this photography class in Seattle!

Through the use of light, we can create a mood, tell a story, or highlight a face or form. Using available light can bring us lots of options but also has limitations. What if you want diffused light on a cloudless day? What if you want bright light on a cloudy day? This is where learning to add light comes into play. 

In the Pacific Northwest, we are faced with many overcast days. If we learn to master available light, add light to available light, and shape that light, we can create portraits that stand out.

This location-based workshop is intended to provide a well-rounded experience and leave you feeling more confident in finding and shaping light, posing a subject, and more. There will also be a model for you to work with and photograph!

You will learn to embrace and utilize available light, as well how to seek out the best light for the person you are photographing. This could be the bright sun, finding shade, or creating shade.

During the in-person workshop, Kate will talk through camera and lighting settings, find interesting locations, and work with talent. You will leave this experience more confident in using off-camera flash and finding great compositions and backgrounds.
