SUMMARY:Blend Natural Light and Flash for Surreal Portraits | Rachel Owen
DESCRIPTION:Step into a world where ordinary locations become the foundation for extraordinary images. In this hands-on photo walk\, Rachel Owen will work with fantasy-inspired models to explore how posing\, light\, and location can come together to tell a story. Attendees will learn to blend natural light with flash to create dramatic\, surreal portraits while adapting to whatever the location offers. Rachel will also share the problem-solving techniques behind her composite work\, including how to create with minimal equipment and how to photograph background plates when a great location doesn't come with a model attached. Attendees will learn to think beyond the photograph they're taking today and capture the pieces needed to create something entirely new later in the studio. What you'll learn: how to pose and direct models with intention to create images that tell a story\, how to balance natural light with flash for dramatic\, fantasy-inspired portraits\, how to problem-solve creatively when working on location with limited equipment\, how to photograph effective background plates for future studio composites\, and how to train your eye to see the creative possibilities in unexpected locations. Recommended gear: bring your camera and favorite portrait lens. A wider lens is also helpful for capturing environmental portraits and background plates. Participants are encouraged to travel light\, since the ability to create with minimal equipment is part of the experience.\n(This class requires pre-registration.
