Join Hunt’s Photo Education for another entry in our series of portrait workshops where we will emphasize creating portraits using available light through subject placement and composition through the aid of diffusers and reflectors. We will then separately demonstrate reasons to add in flash.
We will be photographing mid-afternoon in the sunlight (and shade). Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.
We will be holding this workshop at the Arnold Arboretum in Boston. This wonderful location has terrific greenery and well-manicured lawns, perfect for any portrait session!
