A portrait is more than just a simple image of a person – it tells a story, captures emotions, and reveals the personality of the subject. Portraits can inspire people, provoke thought, or evoke joy in pure aesthetics.
Self-portraits, in particular, offer the opportunity to express oneself creatively and discover new facets of one’s identity. They can be a powerful tool for self-reflection and healing, boost your self-esteem, and give you a new perspective on yourself.
What You Will Learn in This Workshop
There is so much power in a portrait, which I would like to explore with you during the workshop.
I will explain the basic concepts, the approach, how to work with light and shadow, and which situations are ideal for portraits.
How do I, as a photographer, interact with my model?
What influence do I, as a photographer, have on the scene, and what should I avoid?
How do I approach a self-portrait?
What are the requirements for it, and how can I successfully stage myself?
Workshop Agenda
The day will begin with a warm introduction to set the tone and help everyone feel at ease. Following this, I’ll walk you through the basic concepts and foundational techniques of portrait and self-portrait photography.
Once we’ve covered the groundwork, we’ll dive into exploring the details highlighted above—hands-on practice will be at the heart of this workshop. Whether in small groups or solo, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to experiment, create, and refine your skills.
Throughout the session, I’ll provide personalized feedback and guidance to each participant, helping you bring your vision to life. We’ll end the day with a focus on photo editing, reflecting on the images captured, and offering constructive feedback to help you grow as a photographer.
Of course, we’ll include several short breaks throughout the session to keep the energy flowing. In the middle of the workshop, we’ll pause for a refreshing 30-minute break, giving everyone a chance to recharge and reflect.
What You Need to Bring
Besides your good mood and enthusiasm for learning, please bring your own camera and if available your tripod. For post-processing, feel free to bring your laptop or any device you use to edit your photos.
