Portraits of celebrities photographed by Brian Smith

Looking for the secrets to great portrait photography? Pulitzer prize-winning photographer Brian Smith has your answers. Brian has spent the last 30 years photographing celebrities and people from all walks of life, including big names like Shaquille O’Neal, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Anne Hathaway, and more.

Specifically, Brian will discuss:

  • How to really connect with your subjects, put them at ease, and tell their story through portraiture.
  • Finding the perfect shoot location and how to combine the expected with the unexpected for a new perspective.
  • New ideas for capturing emotion and why paying attention to the hidden moments is so important.

I like portraits where the setup time is less than five seconds, no artificial lighting, and no posing. Great portraits mean different things to different people.

Would love to attend, but have a scheduling conflict. Will the webinar be archived for later viewing?

@Chuck Yes, we’ll be posting a video recording on the blog so be on the look out for that!

Lauren,

I misplaced the access number for the seminar today. Is there any way that you can send it to me?

Thanks a bunch!

Dirk
