This course has been constructed because of numerous requests from our ‘portrait course’ photographers for a follow-on program.
It will "raise the bar" for your photography skills.
NB. This is a "post graduate" course. Students must have previously completed the "Professional Portrait Photography" course
The ‘Advanced Techniques’ syllabus offers you the opportunity to master special techniques and construct images never before offered.
You will be building on the knowledge and skills that you already have to enable you to lift your standard to the highest level.
Lower class sizes means more time spent with each model and the opportunity to try some of your own ideas in the studio or on location.
Two models will be in attendance at most location shoots.
