One of the very popular workshops that we run here is the Lifestyle Portrait day and  a few weeks ago I had the privilege of running the training course  with a cool group of photographers.

After an initial introduction to the world of Lifestyle Portraits we all headed off to our location with our models for the day Holly & James.

During the photography session the students learn about looking at textures, foregrounds and backgrounds to add interest to their images while also understanding the different ways of tackling the various lighting conditions. James & Holly were fantastic to work with and they also incorporated their acrobatic skills

After lunch the afternoon sessions covered the use of off-camera flash techniques and then the business side of Lifestyle Portraits

Many thanks to Michelle, Jenny, Peter and Jo for submiting me some of their photographs from the day.
