Join me for this fun photography masterclass, exploring equine fine art portrait photography using both the natural background of european styled stables and a studio style background, to create stunning portraits. Learning about  the traditional portrait, a portrait created with natural lighting techniques and beautiful poses using a studio style backdrop. We will play with props and some special effects to create unique and dynamic imagery.   You will get to photograph beautiful horses in a gorgeous space, while I cover everything from camera settings, backgrounds, lighting, composition, posing horses and the significance of equine body language as well as safety around horses and everything in between. Limited to only six participants so you get a very personal photography workshop experience.

Our day will begin at 12noon with a quick sit down discussion about safety around horses and what to look for in the classic equine portrait using natural/available light. Following we will photograph a horse in and around the beautiful european-styled stables. Moving onto the arena to continue with a styled portrait session using studio style backgrounds, special effects including lighting, smoke and floral props, to create more beautiful imagery. We will finish at 4pm with a delicious afternoon tea provided and a de-brief of the day. This masterclass will take your portrait photography to the next level and is perfect, whether you shoot on auto or manual, but a basic understanding of the exposure triangle is recommended. 

Our workshop will take place in a beautiful, all weather, indoor arena located in Ripplebrook, Victoria. (approx 100k from Melbourne).
