Join Hunt’s Photo Education for another entry in our series of portrait workshops where we will be photographing a coven of witches! We will utilize the natural outdoor environment– the woods, a field, along a stream–to create unique environmental portraits where the environment plays a role in creating the scene. Utilizing your environment in photographs is key to creating a fun portrait shoot! We will emphasize creating these portraits using available light through subject placement and composition with the aid of diffusers and reflectors.
We will begin photographing late afternoon in the sunlight (and shade) and work to sunset in Hanover, Connecticut.  Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend.
