It’s the winter time and thus many portrait photographers flee back to the warm comforts of their studios. But that doesn’t mean that you have to resort to creating boring portraits!

Hunt’s Photo Education will lead you into taking fun and creative portraits using a combination of lighting, posing, backgrounds, and more!   In this workshop, we will work on that creativity using simple tools and techniques, whether we use speedlights and studio strobes or LED lights.

This will be a fun day of portraits and not to be missed!
