Our popular portrait photography workshop is an enjoyable and inspirational workshop with course participants taking it in turns to pose.  Understanding what it feels like to pose and be photographed gives an invaluable insight into how individuals respond to being photographed.  This is an integral part of the course and you understand how important it is to build a rapport with your subject to extract great portraits.  This enables you to become a better and more empathetic portrait photographer.

We use a variety of poses from head and shoulders, close up and full length. You are also taught how to crop portraits with sensitivity. Discover fabulous poses within ourselves and each other.

We use stunning outdoor Central London locations specially selected for their interest.

We take a short working break for refreshments and review work completed. Review is ongoing throughout the duration of the course as Lou is on hand to answer questions as they arise.
