CCC Portrait Workshop

Last Sunday Clive Downes and Trevor Lee Organised a one day Portraiture Workshop for members of the Cambridge Camera Club Bernadette Lemon was our model for the day. We Learnt about shooting with window light; in Low Key lighting; High Key lighting with both a neutral background and one illuminated by a red filter; and finally a dance routine. A great day.

Low Key Lighting.

I have to admit to this being my preference.

Dance and Movement - Bernadette

I have been going along to the Cambridge Camera Club Portrait Group for the last few months. and this last session we had a Dancer called Bernadette come along. The idea was to use a slow shutter speed to create movement in the picture. We do not normally meet in the large hall at Foxton but this time Clive (Our Group Leader) hoped that we could create a dark background due to large hall. This did not work really but we still had a good evening. Bernadette was a great model, she danced away for us for nearly two hours.
