    Most of your subjects aren’t models — just regular people. This presentation/shooting demo teaches you to make anyone look genuinely great in front of your camera. You’ll learn how light direction, camera angle, posing and lens choice can sculpt a face, flatter a figure, and bring out what’s best in every subject. From challenging personalities to shy or self-conscious subjects, Bobbi covers it all — including how to help people feel completely at ease. Walk away with a toolkit to make everyone look marvelous!

    There will be a brief opportunity towards the end of the session for attendees to photograph each other. (And if there are no volunteers, there’s a gentleman pictured below that will stand in!) Come learn about how to photograph anyone better!
