Contemporary Portrait Photography$249.00

A portrait is no longer, and let’s be honest, never has been a mere record of a face.

There are many stories and truths that a portrait can tell us about the subject presented before us. Whether it be the soul searching simplicity of Richard Avedon”s portraits in his book “In the American West” or the big production values of Annie Leibovitz’s Vanity Fair work, the contemporary portrait can reveal more than you’d first expect.

This online photography course will encourage you to think outside of conventions, use space, light and your subject’s environment to your advantage and approach the portrait as a lot more than an awkward posed moment.

What you will need:

• A camera – either digital or film. Note, however, that all images must be digitized before uploading to the TCI site. This means, if you shoot film, you will need to scan it before sending your pictures
• Lenses, I would recommend a selection of lenses or a zoom covering 35mm to 105m. However, if you have one standard (i.e. 50mm) lens you can still achieve amazing portrait results
