The Digital Portrait Workshop in Partnership with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts

Saturday, March 23rd from 10am-3pm

Participants are encouraged to bring their own camera.

In celebration of our annual juried photography exhibit, join photographer Glen McClure, whose projects have included "A Random Portrait of Virginia" and "Faces at the Races," in a hands-on workshop on the digital portrait. Learn simple portrait techniques, including the use of natural light, electronic studio flash, proper backgrounds, and strategies to help your subjects relax in front of the camera. Weather permitting, we will work outside with natural light and create portraits of our classmates. At the end of the day, images are reviewed in one-on-one and group discussions. This program has been organized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and is funded, in part, by the Paul Mellon Endowment and the Jean Stafford Camp Memorial Fund.
