You will be working with a live model, so expect to practice actual posing techniques rather than just staring at your camera screen. Bring your own DSLR, even if it is just a kit lens, and be prepared to move around to find the best natural light. Most people struggle with portraits because they get stuck fiddling with camera buttons instead of connecting with the person in front of the lens. In our 3-hour session, we fix that. You will learn to identify the best natural light, how to position your subject, and simple ways to break the ice so you get real, candid expressions instead of stiff, awkward poses. We cover the Exposure Triangle specifically for portraits so you can achieve that blurry background, or bokeh, that makes a subject pop. Since this is a live practice session, you will get instant feedback from us on your framing and angles. We don't do theory-heavy lectures here. We do live drills. Everything is beginner-friendly. If you get thoda bahut of manual mode but want more confidence, this is for you. Please remember to bring your own DSLR and lens. We do not provide equipment, but any kit lens works just fine for these drills. Tension nahi lene ka if you are new to this; we are here to help you get off Auto mode for good. ## About Splash Movement Studio We are Splash Movement Studio, and we believe anyone can take a great photo if they stop stressing about the settings. We run these workshops to get you off the Auto mode button and into the world of natural light, where the real magic happens.
