Urban Portraits - Let’s take some stunning portraits using the streets of Belfast as a backdrop.
Transform your portrait photography with our "Urban Portraits" photography workshop!
We'll dive deep into the art of urban portraiture, using the streets of Belfast as our inspiration.
Imagine turning ordinary alleyways, vibrant murals, and historic architecture into stunning backdrops for your portraits.
This hands-on workshop is designed to give you the confidence to work with models, master posing techniques that flatter and feel natural, and find the perfect light – even in challenging urban environments.
We'll demystify off-camera flash, a technique that often intimidates new photographers, teaching you when and how to use it to create stunning, professional-looking portraits.
