Program Description

Step beyond the ordinary and learn how to craft jaw-dropping, cinematic portraits that command attention. In this immersive workshop, we’ll explore the full creative potential of wide-angle lenses to produce dynamic, storytelling images that combine environment, emotion, and energy.

Through detailed instruction, you’ll discover how to balance technical precision with artistic intent—from gear selection to final pose. Learn how to choose the right camera and lens combination for maximum impact, control perspective distortion to flatter your subject, and use off-camera lighting to sculpt drama and depth across the frame.

Master the art of composition and leading lines to anchor your viewer’s eye, and explore posing techniques that bring confidence and movement into wide-angle frames. Whether you shoot on the streets, in a grand landscape, or inside an architectural space, you’ll gain the tools to create images that feel immersive, larger-than-life, and unmistakably yours.
