We know that the people we love (yes, the same ones that we lovingly create layouts about) are special, unique, and wonderful. We know that when we click our shutters, we want to capture their awesome personality and appearance and let these shine through the photos we shoot. Now if only we knew exactly how to work our cameras so that when that precious moment arises, we are able to capture what we see in front of us, express how it moves us, and preserve it forever on a photograph.
Enter Photographing People: Portraiture 101 with Candice Stringham! For four intensive weeks, join Candice as she leads you on a journey towards taking better photos of your family and friends.
Here is a quick run-through of what to expect from the course:
- In the first week, you’ll learn about the basic elements of portraits so that you can maximize this knowledge to its fullest potential each time you photograph your loved ones.
- In the second week, you’ll learn how to shoot portraits with natural light.
- In the third week, you’ll be given tips and techniques for photographing subjects from different age groups, including how to ensure that your subjects are comfortable and natural, how to pose them, and how to look for the best locations to shoot in.
- In the fourth week, you’ll learn how to photograph couples, families, and group portraits.
Throughout the 4 weeks of the course you’ll receive:
- step-by-step video tutorials that will allow you to see and hear the techniques as you learn. These videos will be available forever from your course homepage at jessicasprague.com, even after the course ends.
- a comprehensive lesson and assignment for each week
- an email from Candice 5 days a week for all four weeks, with encouragement, coupons, and inspiration
- access to a private class message board where you can ask questions and chat with other participants about portrait photography as well as everything under the sun
- a weekly live-chat session so Candice can answer questions about the lesson and assignment
- access to the class image gallery, where you can upload your lesson photographs and get praise and feedback from other students
Plus! Three of the weeks you will turn in photographs that will be personally critiqued by the instructor!
Course Prerequisites

I loved this class and learned so much that I hadn't thought about. I learned to put my camera to work for me not against me. Although I missed the
last week of class because I had to leave town, with no access to a computer for over two weeks I am considering taking this class again when I can.
Highly recommend this class
