Click Away 2018

As photographers we are sometimes limited by light, weather or space. Unpredictable situations can throw a photographer's confidence. So what do you do if the only good light is in one area of the client's home? I have mastered the ability to photograph an entire lifestyle family session in just one room and I'll share my techniques in this class. I have a range of strategies including an essential shot list which can be applied to every single family shoot ensuring enough variety, including time to get creative, all in the one room of a family's home. For this class, we will all be photographing a family using these tools in a beautiful, home-like suite. There will be lots of opportunities for guided shooting and Q+A throughout the class.

I have shot many client sessions in one room, and I believe in my ability to provide clients with a full gallery of varied and beautiful images despite this limitation. This is an element of what I teach when I am mentoring here in Australia, because I know so many photographers panic in situations where the light throughout the client's home isn't ideal or they are limited by other unpredictable factors like weather or physical space. This demonstration would give photographers the tools they need to navigate this kind of situation with confidence.
