Practical Workshop of Portrait Group in Camden Street premises

Bring along your camera and flash units and we'll get you shooting!

This workshop is designed to guide you through processing an image in Lightroom.

You will work on your own image on your own PC in the Camden Strreet Gallery.

The morning session will be jointly hosted by Alice and Pauric.  The session will start off with Alice discussing Lightroom workflow and bring the group through editing and workflow basics with the group working on the same image as she demonstrates.  In the later end of the session the workflow will move to Photoshop.  Alice will first explain her basic approach of working from a JPEG before handing over to Pauric for a more detailed approach in Photoshop.  After the lunch break students can return to work on their own images practicing some of the approaches covered in the morning with the backup of Alice and Pauric if needed.

Workshop to help members prepare for photographic distinctions.

There is no need to register for this on-line event and a link will be emailed to our mailing list before the workshop.

This studio workshop is aimed primarily at beginners, but will also serve to familiarise all members who wish to use the studio with the equipment and its safe use. It will also include a session with an experienced model who has 10+ years’ experience.

Morning Session - 10:00

This will deal mainly with the equipment - background rolls, studio flash units, light modifiers, triggers, flash meter, camera settings, etc.

Afternoon Session - 14:00-ish
The afternoon session will detail three lighting setups - guaranteed to produce competition-level portraits.

After the explanation of how each setup works, each attendee will have ample time to photograph the model and suggest, if required, variations on the pose or facial expression of the model.

Attendees are welcome to photograph each setup; however, notes on the workshop will be provided.

Gerard Kelleher will print a B&W image from a negative showing how he determines his exposure and contrast by dodging and burning
