Learn wedding photography the practical way… |
|
Wedding photography is extremely rewarding in terms of creativity and income. This wedding photography course is aimed at people who already understand the basics of photography and would like to turn their hobbies into a creative career. The DPC team, consisting of two professional wedding photographers have pooled their knowledge and skills to create the wedding photography course. The workshop is extremely practical and the classes limited to 8 people only. Theories are backed up with visual samples. The highlight is a practical shoot with dressed up models whereafter the participants work are evaluated, and feedback given. The course include a crash course in popular wedding style retouching and digital workflow; the use of popular software and wedding filters. The course conclude with a final “on-location” portrait session for participants to hone their skills and learn to shoot “under pressure”. The workshop takes place over four days…
