Washington Photo Safari - Outdoor Informal Portraiture (Beginner Level)

Getting a natural, relaxed image in posed pictures of friends and family is art,  not science. It takes a number of ingredients, particularly mastering the science portion of photography so you, the photographer, can be natural and relaxed. This photo safari, taught by professional portrait photographer Bob Blanken,  will use the wonderful settings available at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton MD for an instructional beginner-level workshop that will have you:

• Controlling exposure with fill flash and reflectors
• Learning how to select a background
• Using shade to your advantage
• Posing individuals, couples and groups with confidence
• Using the sun as a main, fill or accent light
• Composing your photograph like a pro
• Having fun

Bob Blanken is past president of The Professional Photographers Society of Greater Washington and the Maryland Professional Photographers Association. His photographs and albums have won numerous awards. He is VP of Education for the Greater Washington, DC Chapter of International Special Events Society.
