Class Summary

- Please make sure whatever camera they bring has a fully charged battery and a memory card, if necessary.
- As always, have them bring their enthusiasm and creative thoughts

Wednesdays September 30th, October 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th & November 4th, 4:30-6pm • Hunt’s Photo, Melrose
Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a 6-session photography program aimed at strengthening their photographic skills while also learning a bit about how to take the best portraits.
Over the course of the sessions, we will cover a wide range of topics, including portrait composition, posing, direction and interaction with the subject, lighting (indoors and outside), editing and more! In every session we’ll have a brief introduction to a topic followed by a fun practical exercise. Our goal is to get your photographers taking pictures as much as possible! At the end of each session, we’ll look back on the images to see what we liked about them.
As this is a class about portraits, all attendees should be ready to have their picture taken! The best way to learn about how to pose and direct your subject is to be a subject yourself, and that’s what these sessions aim to do. In the end, attendees should have a better understanding of what makes a successful portrait, how to execute it, and also have some great shots of themselves!
Prerequisites:
–Attendees should have a little bit of experience with their cameras. They do not need to be experts, but this shouldn’t be the first time using their camera. We also offer our Intro to Photography program if you are just starting out.
-This course is geared towards students aged 11-16 years old. Our age requirement is general and a certain maturity level is helpful. Younger students with interest and a level of responsibility are welcome to attend.
-Students will be required to have some kind of camera. We generally recommend a DSLR or mirrorless camera, but if you’re unsure, feel free to contact us at classes@huntsphoto.com.
This is a great opportunity to get better at photography and portraits!
