    Whether you enjoy taking portraits in natural light or with flash, there is so much to learn about how to create a dynamic portrait. Photographer Henry Marte will be conducting live portrait sessions outdoors (weather dependent!) using interesting and dynamic models. We will discuss the importance of lighting and how to effectively use speedlights and strobes in an outdoor environment. Bring your camera and a lens!

    Please note: We have a few of these sessions throughout the weekend! Click here to see all available sessions, as well as our other seminars and experiences. These sessions will be smaller in group size, giving you more of a chance to ask questions! In case of inclement weather, we may hold the sessions indoors.
