Danielle is sponsored by Color Inchttp://www.colorincprolab.comThis fun, hands-on family session will walk you through how I approach an outdoor family session. We will talk about getting "safe" family shots while also feeding your artistic need to create something rewarding for yourself. I will discuss many of my most commonly used compositional and lighting techniques, as well as ways to get creative during a family session, including freelensing, shooting through things, introducing lens flare, and more. We will walk and talk through the streets of Seattle, while shooting a super fun family in a way that will get your creativity flowing. There will be plenty of time for questions. And each attendee will receive a Sticky Album with notes and talking points from the program.
Learning Objectives:
1. Learn how to balance "safe" family shots with shooting creatively.
2. Gain experience working with unknown subjects in a new-to-you place.
3. Commonly used prompts and directives to evoke genuine connection between family members.
4. Walk away with a Sticky Album to refer back to time and time again at your own sessions.
Location:
This outdoor Boutique Program will take place around Pike Place Market, the Gum Wall and Post Alley, and/or the waterfront.
This urban area provides a lot of opportunities for interesting backgrounds and is only a few blocks away from the Westin. Pike Place Market is a busy urban market that is an iconic tourist destination. The Gum Wall and Post Alley provide interesting urban street scenes, as well as great color and texture. Beyond the Market, Gum Wall, and Post Alley, your group may venture down to the waterfront. The waterfront boardwalk area is a lovely place for capturing scenic shots of the sky, cityscape, and the ferris wheel. Please note that there are many steps required to get from the market to the waterfront. There is a small elevator available. It will take approximately 10-15 minutes to walk to Pike Place Market from the Westin, and the waterfront is an additional 10 minutes beyond the Market. To return to the Westin from the waterfront at the conclusion of the program (remember this walk is uphill), please budget 20-25 minutes.
