Premium Portrait Photography

---

Premium and Intensive Portrait Photography Workshop taught by an internationally awarded Master Photographer. Whether you want to shoot fashion models, loved ones or even corporate portraits, you will learn to use natural portrait lighting effects and in addition gain many handy posing, compositional and focusing tips.

We construct a series of 'pro-shoots' in various stimulating and exciting locations around Sydney. This fashion and portrait photography course runs for the entire day under the close supervision, guidance and instruction of your tutor, multi award winning, Master Photographer and a NSW AIPP Portrait Photographer of the Year, Daniel Linnet. Backed by a knowledgeable photographic assistant, Daniel shoots tethered to a lap-top for easy viewing and reference as he demonstrates.

This Workshop covers fashion and portraits, including models and loads more. We begin by fuelling your inspiration with a presentation of outstanding portrait imagery and provision of a brief for the day to get your creative juices flowing. We utilise fabulous, friendly professional models for a beauty and fashion photography shoot and Sydney based actors / dancers for character portraits who make you feel at ease. You are served up a sumptuous catered working lunch and snacks throughout the day. This people portrait photography course is social, inspirational, educational and fun!
