Join us in this unique workshop to explore the lighting extremes for portrait photography. From the lightest touches for high-key beauty shots to the darkest, moodiest theatrical poster images, this is a rare opportunity to delve into the full spectrum of portrait photography.

Paul is well-known for being able to turn his hand to any portrait style. He combines a love of light (and darkness) with an energy for people (and the laughter that comes with them), creating iconic, stunning, award-winning images for the past two decades.

In this immersive masterclass, we will push into the dark side and then burst out into the light, working at the extremes of the tonal range. We’ll use strobes, modifiers, scrims and backdrops to create stunning images that can add a whole new dimension to your portfolio.

Throughout the masterclass, Paul will explain what he’s doing (and why he’s doing it), demonstrate the techniques and share the images on screen.

You will learn how to style a shoot for the most compelling images, what to look for in the lighting and the posing, and how to think at the edges of the histogram.

Paul is not only a master of his craft but also at his happiest when answering questions from the crowd, so bring your curiosity (and a notebook). You will leave this masterclass full of ideas, energy, and the confidence to try these techniques yourself!
