Join Hunt’s Photo Education and Sony for a hands-on event with a trio of photographers (Sony Ambassador Tony Gale, frequent Hunt’s Photo Education guest instructor Henry Marte, and Hunt’s Photo Educator Paul Nelson) guiding you to capture amazing portraits!
In this Portrait Shootout, we will have four unique portrait setups for you to photograph. Each setup will be a little different, placing our models in unique scenery, props and costumes. All setups will have lighting provided. The goal is to put you, the photographer, in front of as many opportunities to capture unique portraits. Through scenery, props, costumes, atmosphere, and lighting, you’ll be able transform a simple portrait into a more complex story! You also don’t need to be an expert at any of these elements to participate. Many of these setups will be built, so you don’t need to worry about knowing the lighting or even how to pose the model! However, we will have enough instructors to describe how or why you light or pose a subject in a specific way, if you want to know!
The Creative Portrait Shootout aims to inspire and invigorate photographers to create something amazing. Join us for this fantastic opportunity!
This event is sponsored by Sony, but ALL photographers, regardless what camera you have, are encouraged to attend. Sony loaner gear (cameras and lenses) will be available for ANYONE interested! (Make sure to bring a driver’s license and credit card for loaners.)
Sony Contest!
In addition to the event, attendees will have the opportunity to post up their best image to IG in an attempt to win a prize. Details to be announced at the event!
