Taking pictures of people is no easy task. Telling someone to stand there, hands by their side, smile or ducklips is so overdone and to be honest, kinda makes for a boring snapshot. Learn to spruce up your Social Media portraits with some creative posing and lighting.

During this four week class we will cover basic and creative lighting, intro to composition plus essential posing techniques to help elevate photos of yourself, friends or both. In this class we will be utilizing inside and outside areas around Spruill to practice with available lighting and to incorporate a number of different backgrounds to create fun and interesting backdrops for portraits.

DSLR, smartphone or tablet can be used. Basic knowledge of camera is highly recommended, but not required. Classmates will be modeling and practicing photography with each other. Weekly assignments will be given for further practice at home.
