Judy Host - Storytelling Portraits
Photographic Artist Judy Host goes beyond a standard portrait to make unique images. An inspiring class for any level photographer that starts with pre-visualization, perspective and understanding the importance of finding your style. An entirely natural light shooter for most of her career she will talk about finding good light and how to best use whatever light is available to you, and master it, without assistants or modifiers. In recent years she has added studio lighting to her repertoire and she will talk about how lighting is a style choice. Finding locations/backgrounds will also be discussed - as will creating wonderful images on hotel room balconies, in garages and even in parking lots.
And last but not least, putting the final touches on your images with editing, using textures and creative effects. The final stages of making an ordinary image, extraordinary!
