People and Art Portrait Photography Meetup

Saturday the 5th of February

Deep Ellum - 1:00 pm - 2 hours

Hey Everyone! In this meet up we'll explore people and art in the Deep Ellum neighborhood. This will be a type of portrait meet up where we'll photograph a hired model using the public art of Deep Ellum as our backdrop. We'll focus on both candid and directed portraits. Since we'll be working with a professional model, this meet up will be slightly more advanced. If you're not comfortable using your camera's manual settings and directing a model, this meet up will be very difficult. If you are comfortable with those things and love portrait photography, then this meet up is for YOU! I'm looking forward to it!!

New to photography? We also run a popular 3 hour Beginners Guide to Photography Class once a month.

And once in a while we will run special niche 3 hour classes, for example, Astrophotography - so do subscribe to our newsletter to know when the next one is!

Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from beginners to keen amateurs. The photography instructor is there to help you with camera settings and provide any advice you need.

What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!

The meeting point and full details for the day are sent in the booking confirmation email to the email address you provide at time of booking.

It was great. Tommy was a great instructor. He was really great at explaining (and re-explaining) things to me in ways that made sense and helped me achieve objectives. He was also very patient. I am a beginner.
