Portraiture workshops
We love this quote by Peter Turnley, "In a period of a very quiet 30 seconds to five minutes, there is literally an exchange of love in the interaction between two sets of eyes." Portrait photography is ninety percent human connection and ten percent technical mastery. Learn to make compelling portraits by studying with some of the finest portraitists working today. In the studio or on location, novice or pro, learn from great photographers who love to teach.
