1-DAY WORKSHOP
PETER HURLEY: The Headshot Redefined
Wednesday, May 8th, 9.00am – 4:30pm. REPEATED Thursday, May 9th, 11:00am – 6:00pm
We are currently immersed in a digital society that relies on a daily flow of visual content. As portrait photographers, we are able to capture this uptick by providing imagery for our clientele’s needs. The headshot industry is the perfect example of part of this shift that has occurred. Headshots aren’t just for actors any more and many businesses and entrepreneurs worldwide have taken note. What does this mean for us? Opportunity is knocking and it is time to reap the benefits.
By redefining his headshot business Peter’s belief is that there is more to one’s personal brand than just a solid profile picture. He structures his sessions toward capturing well rounded personal branding images as well as solid headshots. This adds significant value for the client and an adds additional revenue source for the studio. In this course, Peter will teach you his signature method for capturing quality headshots as well as demonstrate a number of his go-to lighting recipes that he incorporates into his portrait sessions. Beyond this heavy emphasis on lighting, you’ll also get his posing strategies, workflow and key tips for directing your subject’s expression. So come spend the day with Peter and you’ll be walking away with a slew of new ideas for your next shoot as well as some amazing shots to add to your body of work.
NOTE: This workshop will be repeated on Thursday, May 9th.
Price: $475.
