Secrets To Shooting Perfect Portraits With Natural Light

A Workshop on Creative Instant Photography

April 29, 2022 | 7PM

About The Workshop

Shooting portraits with natural light has the power to evoke an ethereal, minimalist style that takes the viewer’s breath away. There’s something so simply stunning about a visually impactful natural light portrait. Whether it’s a soft shadow during the perfect morning light, or a look and feel that seems almost faded, capturing dreamy portraits with natural light is a skill many photographers seek to master.

Old But New!

These days, almost everyone has access to a digital camera in the form of a phone, DSLR or a mirrorless camera. And yet, although we live in an increasingly digital world, there are many benefits to shooting and developing film the old-fashioned way.

Jumpstart Your Creativity

Light leaks, blank shots and happy accidents – these are normal with your first few rolls. But don’t give up! It takes some practice but you’ll get the hang of it. We will introduce basic functions and features - long exposures, multiple exposures as well as some shooting techniques!

Negative Is Positive

Despite modern advancements, we hope that this won't hinder you from creating prints out of your negatives. So go ahead and capture your life on film, make beautiful prints, and even share them online. We will give you tips on how to curate them online!
