Level 2 – Introduction to Creative Photography – The Headshot

Building on skills you learned in Level 1, this full day Level 2 Introduction to Creative Photography workshop will focus on a photography classic -The Headshot.

What is a Headshot?

Is it a portrait? Is it a Headshot? Learn to know the difference between the two and how Headshots are used in this hands-on workshop led by artist and commercial photographer Myles Shelly.

Using professional equipment and natural direct or reflected light learn how to create dynamic Headshots for personal or professional use by family, friends and clients in a relaxed studio setting at Photo Museum Ireland.

Starting at 11am each student will present 3 of their favourite images for an informal review before the class is introduced to the Headshot studio equipment essentials.

The class will then learn important dos and don’ts of studio and equipment management before conducting their very first Headshot session.

You will be introduced to post production, retouching and skills to select the best image for photo printing or screen sharing.

Through theory and practice you will finish the day with the essential skills to practice and perfect your Headshot style.

You must have your own DSLR or Mirrorless camera for this workshop, if you need any advice please get in touch.
