As an acclaimed British Royal & Celebrity Photographer, Rory Lewis has made an indelible mark on the world of photography and visual arts. Recently, I had the pleasure of conducting an extraordinary workshop at Samy's Camera in LA, aimed at sharing my expertise and empowering fellow photographers with practical skills and techniques.
From captivating portraits of Game of Thrones cast members to influential politicians, my work draws inspiration from Renaissance Portraiture and German Expressionist Cinema. With a focus on practical tuition, my professional digital photography courses provide a unique opportunity to unlock your potential as a freelance photographer or enhance your hobbyist skills. During the workshop, participants had ample time to engage in hands-on learning experiences, including collaborating with professional models. This immersive approach allowed attendees to capture stunning photography, augment their portfolios, and acquire a range of new techniques.
The workshop catered to photographers of all levels, from beginners to intermediate. Through a combination of studio flash lighting, understanding studio techniques, and experimentation with photographic models, participants gained insights into the intricacies of portrait photography. Demonstrations on the effects of various lighting equipment, such as soft boxes, umbrellas, snoots, and beauty dishes, illuminated the transformative impact of different lighting techniques. Additionally, participants discovered how to manipulate soft and hard lighting to evoke different moods in their portraits. Exploring the functions of main, fill, back, and hair lights provided a comprehensive understanding of how each element contributes to the final image.
With a commitment to fostering a collaborative and enjoyable learning environment, my workshops maintain small group sizes. By implementing interactive and fun learning techniques, participants were encouraged to apply their newly acquired knowledge immediately. Through practical sessions with professional models, attendees left the workshop with enhanced skills, newfound confidence, and a valuable arsenal of techniques to elevate their portrait photography.
My workshop at Samy's Camera proved to be an exceptional experience, surpassing expectations and leaving participants with an unparalleled understanding of portrait photography. Through practical hands-on learning, attendees honed their skills, expanded their portfolios, and gained the knowledge necessary to take their photography to new heights. Embarking on a journey of self-expression, these photographers are poised to make their mark in the captivating world of visual arts.
Additionally, I am thrilled to announce that I will be teaching a two-day portrait workshop in Las Vegas Thur 21st & Fri 22nd Sept 2023. Join us for a transformative portrait masterclass at the Mirage Hotel Conference Centre, where photographers of all levels can immerse themselves in an enriching learning experience led by the esteemed photographer, Rory Lewis.
