South Burnett photographers enjoyed an afternoon learning invaluable tips and tricks from world-class portrait photographer John Lomas on Sunday.
John, assisted by Ipswich photographer Paul Stevens, had been invited to lead the Nanango Camera Club’s annual Portrait Workshop at Tipperary Flats.
About 30 keen photographers attended the Portrait Workshop – now in itssixth year – to learn how they could improve their portrait photography skills.
John explained the different lighting effects that could be used, as well as how to take advantage of whatever light was available.
He also showed how light could be controlled using reflectors and diffusion panels.
Then photographers filled their frames with images of models Edith, Jessica and Jake who were brought along for the day so students could practice their photographic skills on live subjects.
Shutters fired all afternoon and many cards were filled to overflowing.
Local artist Kelly Dugdell finished the session by face painting the models to provide yet another perspective on portrait photography.
The Nanango Camera Club meets at St Patrick’s School library in Alfred Street, Nanango, at 1:00pm on the third Sunday of each month.
The club can be contacted by emailing the Secretary, or through their Facebook page
