Vee SPEERS
A SHOOTING WITH...
These three half-days with Vee Speers will focus on the portrait. The sessions will cover the basics — lighting, distance and the exchange with the model — but also leave room for emotion, and sometimes for instinct and the viewer’s interaction with the portrait.
Ms. Speers will discuss the participants’ practices before sharing her vision of the portrait as well as some of her influences and experiences.
Then she will guide them in a photo session. The pictures will be analysed and published the next day during the last session.
