Cosplay Meets Photography – Chester Photographic Academy Evening
Cosplay Meets Photography – Chester Photographic Academy Evening
It’s all about portraiture photography with a difference at this Welshot Photographic Academy Evening in Chester! If you want to learn about lighting and how to use it effectively for the different effects it can give you, then this is the session for you. From using one light, two lights, then three, then four lights, you will learn how to “Build” your set, taking your photos as you go along and seeing the differing results that each stage gives you. We will also be adding gels into the mix as well as modifiers. If that’s not enough, your model(s) will be Cosplayers – dressed in unique costumes which will provide you with vibrant fun characters to capture in your camera while learning/honing your portraiture skills. We can promise you that you will leave this photography adventure with having learnt a thing or three and a memory card full of images that you will be proud to have in your portfolio.
This Welshot Chester Photographic Academy Evening is limited to TEN Delegates. One-to-One and group tuition, guidance and support will be given – all lighting equipment (including triggers) is included, as is a full buffet supper
