Description
Outdoor Portrait Sessions
with Harry Connor
This class is aimed at people who need to know how to perform in the fast and furious pace of a very busy studio. It’s for the photographer who’s interested in understanding the art of painting with light by using reflectors, speedlights, and strobes. You’ll learn how to pick up the pace but still deliver high quality images with style—no science or math involved. With 20 years of experience shooting weddings, senior portraits, countless model sessions, covers and features in very mainstream magazines—I’ll share my secrets to success and show you how to handle the pace without sacrificing quality. I’ll show techniques that helped me while I was shooting more than 50 weddings and over 75 senior portrait sessions in a 6-month timeframe in order to take advantage of the short outdoor photography season in the northeast.
