Portraits on LocationAugust 25 - 29, 2008 Bobbi Lane 
The impact of a strong portrait can inspire, enlighten and educate us. The techniques involved in creating a portrait are both subjective and technical, including posing and expression, tonalities and color, direction and quality of light and use of background. This course allows us the opportunity to explore in depth, all the elements required to achieve our desired effect. We will work with both natural light and strobes, either studio or portable flash, and photograph models using the locations for composition and story-telling. Lighting is crucial to a successful photo and we will cover lighting patterns, quality and lighting ratios. Great attention is paid to the details, fine tuning the photograph for the best impression. With the unlimited options for great location and the wonderful people we have available to us as our subjects, we will learn how to create portraits with emotional and graphic impact. Designing a portrait that tells everything about a subject is impossible, so we will spend time getting to know our subject and deciding what is the particular impression we want our viewers to understand. There will be demonstrations every day and plenty of shooting time for the participants to work with their models and with the other participants helping as assistants and stylists. The workshop will cover working on concepts as well as communication skills.
