Portrait Photography Training.
Never make assumptions - Join The
Myth Busters Club for free!
Sunday 11 Nov, we had a fantastic
workshop on Portraiture with Paul Robinson. His explanations were clear and
simple, and his demonstrations were effective and practical. Everyone had a good
time and learnt in a fun environment. The day would not have been so successful
if we had not had such wonderful models who were so patient and understanding.
They gave up their time freely on a day of other commitments. We are indebted
to them all . We also need to thank those who provided the morning tea and
lunch.It was very much appreciated and we did justice to the offerings.
For those who didn't come, one day you will believe me
that we have such a good time and learn at the same time.
We dispelled some assumptions;
1 you don't need artificial lighting to take good
portraits.
2 you don't need a tripod.
3.You don't need an S.L.R. with
fancy lenses and filters.
4. You don't need to know a lot
about your camera.Auto everything will do the job.
You can't get much simpler than that!
For those who did attend : Alan C.
Alan S. Ann Anstey Alister Sedgeley Ian Wallace Judy Hoffmann Joy and
John Clayton Andrea Whitaker and Marlee and Kim Wyllie
As a token of our appreciation of
the support of the models, we propose to give each of them a certificate of
appreciation and a photo from the day, mounted and framed.
Would all attending members send to
Kim at kimmwyllie@gmail.com their best photo of each
model. At this stage it doesn't have to be full size. Kim will select "The
Best of the Best" of each model and then request a full size version
of those photos to be emailed to her for printing.
