Making people look natural in front of the camera is about much more than just asking a family to sit on a bed while you say 'act natural'. In a home like environment Clare Barker Wells will guide you through how she creates calm amid the chaos and builds authentic, effortless-looking lifestyle poses. Whether you photograph large families or work with smaller groups (like a mom with her baby or a dad with his teenager), you'll learn how to create consistent, beautiful imagery no matter who you have in front of your camera!
You'll start with an in-depth breakdown of all the tools, tricks and tips that Clare uses in every session to help her create and capture the honest-looking poses that every client wants! Next you'll move on to a shooting demonstration where you can watch her guide a real-life family into natural, beautiful, and creative poses with soul and heart (and you'll be able to photograph the family as well!). Watch her communicate with the family to make small changes that will transform a simple moment into a strong, emotive, authentic image. And finally, once you've built the pose, Clare will teach you the art of deliberately letting that pose fall apart into the truly joyful, honest moments.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn tangible techniques and tools for pose building and ideas for inspiration - Learn the building blocks needed to creatively and authentically pose a family in a natural looking way - Experience why Clare shoots this way and why she lets the "pose fall apart" to get the truly beautiful moments in the chaos
