Are you new to portrait photography? Would you like to learn how to take photos of others resulting in a stunning composition? Let me show you how to set up your camera using the photography triangle as I explain how this tool can be very valuable so you can photograph others resulting in a “wow” factor reaction. It is important to know during this “Portrait Photograph Meetup” you will be posing and taking photos of each other. Not only will you be having fun and practicing taking portraits, the skills and methods learned during this meetup will make it all that much fun. An off-camera flash (and a diffuser if you have one) is recommended; the necessity for this will be discussed during the meetup. Think of the fun you will have when you learn the fundamentals of taking photos of friends and family. A photography challenge will be presented and as stated above, the Photography Triangle will be discussed and implemented. Questions and discussion are always welcome.
