Discover the art of outdoor portrait photography in this hands-on workshop led by NCE educator and professional photographer Becky Clark-Dullinger. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your foundational skills or elevate your creative approach, this session is designed to help you make the most of natural light to create beautifully lit portraits.
We’ll start in the classroom with a guided presentation covering exposure settings, white balance, depth of field, and focal length—key elements that work together to create dynamic images. You’ll also gain insight into the role of light in portraiture, including how to recognize quality light, use basic modifiers, and choose the best time of day for your shoot. Then, put your knowledge into practice during a live photo session with on-site models. Becky and the NCE photo team will be available throughout to offer tips, answer questions, and provide hands-on support.
