Portraiture Workshop by Philip Scanlon (9th November)

Tue, 11/10/2009 - 14:02 — mark

Well I think we all learned something new at last night's workshop on portraiture presented by Philip Scanlon (www.photosbyphilip.com).

Philip started off the evening by going through the various steps involved in him obtaining his "L" - Licentiate of the Irish Photographic Federation award. After that, he showed us a selection of his work and pointed out what problems he had had to overcome for particular shots and shared with us the essential "sticker" tip.
