In this Portrait Shootout, we will have four unique portrait setups for you to photograph.

Each setup will be a little different, placing our models in unique scenery, props and costumes. All setups will have lighting provided. The goal is to put you in front of many opportunities to capture unique portraits. Through scenery, props, costumes, atmosphere, and lighting, you’ll be able transform a simple portrait into a more complex story! You also don’t need to be an expert at any of these elements to participate. Many of these setups will be built, so you don’t need to worry about knowing the lighting or even how to pose the model! However, we will have enough instructors to describe how or why you light or pose a subject in a specific way, if you want to know!

Sony loaner gear will be available on a first come first served basis. You must provide your own memory card.
