Natural Light Portrait Workshop

Have you ever looked at a beautiful portrait and thought, “I’d love to try that… but I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing”? Then this workshop is for you!

Join us on October 4th from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM for a fun, hands-on afternoon exploring the art of Natural Light Portraits. No experience is necessary, and you don’t need fancy equipment. Bring whatever camera you have, bring your curiosity, and we’ll figure out the rest together.

We’ll cover everything from working with your subject and helping them pose naturally, to finding the best expressions, choosing backgrounds, spotting distracting elements, and improving your composition. We’ll also explore how to work with the light you have, how to modify or improve it, what types of light can work best for portraits, and what camera settings you might want to try.

Most importantly, this is a chance to get out from behind the camera and actually practice. You’ll have the opportunity to experiment, ask questions, learn from other SPC photographers, and receive in-person guidance and mentoring along the way.

Whether you’ve never photographed a portrait before, you’re looking to build your confidence, or you’ve been doing this for years and want to try something different, come join us! There’s no pressure to create a masterpiece. We’re here to learn, experiment, make photographs, and hopefully have a few laughs along the way.

The location will be decided by the members attending the event.

Bring your camera. Bring your questions. Bring your willingness to experiment. The light is already out there—we just need to learn how to use it.

This workshop is open exclusively to current members of the Sackville Photography Club.
