#CreateToConnect - A NYC Portrait Session with Adam King
Adam King will be teaching how to connect your emotions through a model to create powerful images using the Sony α7R III. Topics that will be covered are expressions, lighting, body language and inspiration through lyrics, quotes and poems. We will also be taking that inspiration and connecting it to a model during a photoshoot. We’ll also be focusing on how to effectively communicate with a model to bring your vision to the viewfinder. Attendees can expect to walk away with a new perspective on portrait photography, new sources of inspiration and feeling more connected to their work.

5 - 7 p.m.
