Natural Light Outdoor Portrait Photography - Centennial Park - 10am - 2 Hours

Portrait photography can be daunting, but it is also incredibly rewarding! In this session we’ll be starting with the basics of photographing people, and how you can feel confident and creative behind your camera. We’ll be looking at: lighting, capturing expressions and posing your subject using natural light. We will also be exploring ways to use reflectors both commercially bought and items that can be used as a reflector from your home. If you do not own a reflector, please bring along a large piece of white or black cardboard, aluminium foil or an old shower screen and we will play with these as reflectors.

Animals in the Wild - Sydney Opera House - 2pm - 2 hours

You’ve probably heard about the massive increase in wildlife around cities and towns since many countries have been in lockdown, so I thought now would be the perfect time to host this class.

To get the most out of this challenge we're going to focus on wild animals. A lot of the fun for this kind of shoot comes from not knowing what you’re going to find, and (hopefully!) the excitement of finally being in the right place at the right time to capture a unique moment in the natural world.

In this class, we'll examine the ideal equipment and settings for wildlife photography, as well as the best times of day to shoot and how to capture the most engaging images!

Dynamic Tension - Sydney Opera House - 10am - 2 hours

Until now, we’ve always told you to use lines in your surroundings to lead directly towards the subject. But as you know, photography rules are made to be broken, so this week we’re going to throw away logic and order to create some chaos in our shots!

Dynamic tension is a technique using angles, lines, and potential energy within the frame to draw the eye in opposite directions and out of the picture.

This is an interesting technique, as it contradicts the typical objective of making the subject or image as obvious as possible to the viewer – this time we want to make them do some work too!

In this class, I'll share some common techniques and examples to give you an idea of how to capture dynamic tension in your shots to keep your viewers on their toes and add some diversity to your portfolios!
