This Natural Light Portrait Meetup will explore how to create stunning portraits using natural light and outdoor backgrounds. You'll learn how to identify and manipulate flattering light in less controlled environments, outside of a studio setting.

We'll also focus on collaborating with your subject to capture their personality and style, covering posing techniques and how to set your subject at ease. Technical skills such as accurate focusing and metering for skin tones will also be discussed.

Note: We encourage you to bring a friend or family member to be your model. Practicing with someone familiar will enhance your learning experience.

People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

The focus of this two-hour structured session is "speed" and "form", i.e. capturing the essence of a subject. You will be guided to complete some "warm-up" colour and drawing exercises and prepared for doing ink and watercolour-based painting in the session. You will learn how to quickly sketch and capture multiple subjects in the garden with ink and wash technique. You will be advised to keep things rather loose and time your drawing/painting.
You will have a chance to meet and greet like-minded people, choose your own subjects in the garden and be guided to complete the exercises, and artwork and have some takeaway homework with the learned technique. All levels and experiences are welcome.
