Online: Environmental Portraits

In response to COVID-19 and recommendations by the CDC of social distancing, Hunt’s Photo Education is presenting our new series of online classes! These courses will be shorter (about 1 hour), online versions of many classes that we currently offer, plus a few new ones, and include Q&A at the end.
Below the course description (but before registration) will be a short explanation on how the class will run.

All portraits offer a level of intrigue, focus, and character to our subjects. How the subject is positioned, where we focus, and how they interact all play into creating a level of depth to the image. Environmental portraits– a portrait taken in someone’s normal environmental, such as their home or place of work– don’t just place a subject on a plain background, but instead offer additional elements in the photograph that add to the story of the subject. As such, we build more of a story of the subject in an environmental portrait.
Join Hunt’s Photo Education’s Don Toothaker for a presentation that showcases the significance of creating environmental portraits. We will discuss surroundings, subject interaction and development, as well as basic settings. This is a great discussion for not only those interested in portraits, but anyone interested in how to work with people in their natural environment!

Registering and what is needed
After you register for this class, you will receive a confirmation email that will include information about how to access the online class, including an online ID code that you will need to get into the class. Make sure to save this information. We will also send a reminder email about 48 hours prior to the class time with that same information.

Layout of the class
The class will begin promptly at the time listed. The majority of the class–roughly 1 hour– will be a presentation on the topic, followed by a short Q&A. During the class, you are welcome to type in questions in the Chat box if you have specific questions as they are asked. We will do our best to answer those questions, but if not, feel free to ask them at the end.
