Portrait Photography II: Storytelling Through Environment

Take your portrait photography to the next level by learning how to use the environment with intention. This hands-on workshop builds on the core skills from Portrait Photography I and challenges students to create portraits that go beyond a single moment—portraits that tell a story.

We’ll explore how to frame and compose your subject within a space to add depth, context, and direction to your images. Through thoughtful use of light, background, and setting, you’ll learn how to guide the viewer’s eye and convey a clear narrative. This course emphasizes working with natural light and real-world locations to build confidence and control in dynamic shooting situations.
