As a professional photography expert, you know the power of capturing compelling portraits that tell unique stories. Join our immersive portrait photography workshop designed specifically for foreigners living in Istanbul, and unlock the art of capturing captivating and emotive portraits.
People are our most common photographic subjects, and probably the trickiest. It’s easy to get photographs of people, less so to make ones about them! Effective people pictures, whether of relatives or strangers, convey both appearance and personality. They give us an impression of who that person is.
In this workshop, we’ll explore ways to think about people pictures and cover techniques for making effective ones.
