Establishing rapport, understanding and trust, as well as control of light are equally important factors when creating a photographic portrait.

In this this workshop WA photo-media artist Christophe Canato will present a variety of ways to work a portrait using available and studio lighting. Christophe will share some of his methods touching on cultural or instinctual considerations, historical references, styling and Photoshop. Participants will explore the necessary presence of gesture, and the subtle use of metaphors which can be used to add layers of meaning to portraits.

Facilitator: Christophe Canato
