The Natural Portrait

(L2-4)

Five Sundays, October 17th through November 14th
10am-1pm
$245

This class is a wonderful chance to develop your portraiture skills while receiving helpful guidance and inspiration from fine-art photographer Christine Eagon. You'll learn to craft sensitive, relaxed portraits in natural, available light. Class will focus on portraits in ambient light interiors, window and reflected light, and natural light in outdoor locations. You'll learn to develop rapport with subjects (people and pets) and how to create images with engaging emotional content.

This workshop is ideal for those wishing to move beyond a purely technical approach to explore art-making on a more intuitive, expressive level. Group exercises and discussions will encourage and inform your creative process as you receive feedback on work created over the course of the class. Student should bring cameras and may shoot with film or digitally.

Photographer Christine Eagon is a rich source of insight and guidance whose work has been described as having a "mythic, otherworldly quality." This is a great chance to study with a truly unique landscape photographer. Students should bring cameras and may shoot with film or digitally.

Christine Eagon is the Director of the Inner Light Photographic Society. Her work has been selected for numerous juried solo and group exhibitions, and is in the Ruth Bernhard Collection at the Kresge Art Museum. Her black and white portraits are featured in the book, traveling exhibition, and documentary film Strong Hearts, Inspired Minds. Ms. Eagon facilitates creative workshops for visual artists and photographers through Oregon College of Art and Craft and Oregon Book Arts Guild.
