Shoot Menu
HOUR ONE - INTRODUCTION
Meet for coffee and at which time Gary will share his approach and what is required to gain the confidence and consistency to trigger great portraits when out on the streets.
HOUR TWO - TRIGGERS & DEMONSTRATION
Gary demonstrates live with a model first, showing how to engage a subject with triggers, to create collaboration and you’ll learn how to find strong light anywhere — whatever the weather — and use it to shape great portraits.
HOUR THREE
Participants will work in a controlled enviroment with eachother and a model to craft portraits with Gary on hand to give feedback.
HOUR FOUR
This is where the safety rails come off. You’ll be given a focused street portrait challenge and sent back into the real world to put everything into practice — approaching strangers, finding light, directing the moment, and creating portraits with intent.
