Imogen Forte: The Simplicity of Portraiture and Lighting (+ a FREE Headshot)

When: Friday 6th March, 2:00-5:00pm

Great portraits don't need complexity. They just require connection. Join us for a taster session with the Fujifilm School, in celebration of International Women’s Day. In this session, we'll strip it back to the essentials: lighting, honest moments, and the art of seeing people as they are. 

Learn how to capture personality and story without overcomplicating your setup. Whether you're using one light or none at all, it's about mastering the basics, and, most importantly, making them powerful.

No advanced knowledge of lighting is required, but an understanding of camera fundamentals is recommended. This includes working in manual exposure mode, with a command of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.

Each guest will also leave the workshop with their own headshot, which can be used to enhance their personal brand.
