One Face – Five Ways – Headshot Portraiture – Llandudno Photographic Academy Evening

Tonight at the Llandudno Photographic Academy Evening it’s all about Headshot Portraiture – shooting in the studio as well as out on location. You will be creating five completely different looks from your model(s) using a wide variety of photographic and lighting techniques. From creating silhouettes to using gels. From shooting in black and white to creating bokeh in your portraits, from shooting in the Golden/Blue Hour to using a single light – the only limiting factor will be your creativity. We will be using props such as car windows, guitars, mirrors, hats and scarves and you will even learn how to use the surroundings around as your background to your advantage. Studio mains flash, off camera flash and natural light will, again, help you to create differing looks to your photographs. Using shadows, natural and created in the studio will also help you to be creative and think outside the box while you make some really effective images.

Dresses, Docs & Portrait Photography – Llandudno Photographic Academy Evening

Perfect your portrait photography at this on location shoot at the Welshot Photographic Academy Evening. Our Models, wearing Dresses and Docs, and using the beautiful Llandudno Bay in North Wales as their backdrop, will be working hard to help you capture some stunning portraiture, using both off camera flash and natural, ambient lighting. We guarantee fun, frolics and frivolity as they pose for the camera, before and after the sun sets on the horizon, then, we’ve got a chance to do some low-light portraiture too! Think portraits and piers, swishy dresses, stomping boots and biker jackets. From posed portraits to those candid shots – this portrait photography session will help you learn a thing or three about lighting, hone your already gained skills or just help you to enhance your photographic portfolio. Whatever your reason for attending, we know you will have a lot of fun with like-minded photographers in a safe, non-competitive and fun environment. We even provide you with a light buffet supper.

We are however, making one major change – we will be starting the days shooting after lunch and will continue until after the sun has gone down. By making use of of the afternoon and evening light that Llandudno is famous for, you are going to be capturing our models using that natural glow as well as using off camera flash.
