Click Away 2019

How do you put together a strong portfolio set? How do you decide what images to keep and what to cut? When is it okay to break “the rules”? Courtney Larson, Director of Click Pro, will show you exactly how to critically evaluate your work using the standards by which Click Pro applicants are measured, including effective compositions, use of light, processing, intention, and more. She’ll give live critiques of attendee-submitted work, share why creating an evolving portfolio is an important step ANY photographer should take, and provide guidance on specific steps you can take to examine your own work with an objective eye.

In this boutique class Chloe will break down exactly how she creates emotive and intimate images during couples sessions. We will go over how to create an environment that allows (and encourages!) your couple to open up and be their authentic selves. There will be a live shoot with a real couple, where you will get a behind the scenes look at how Chloe uses directing over posing to achieve images that are full of life and emotion.

Students should have experience shooting manual to get the most out of this class.

Learning Objectives:
