Turning Your Boring Portraits Into Masterpieces
Location: Sacramento, CA
Date: Saturday, January 24
Time: 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM
Format: Hands-on, in-field shooting workshop
Great portraits don’t happen by accident—they’re built with intention.
The Big Picture is a hands-on photography workshop designed to help you see, compose, and create images that immediately feel stronger, more dynamic, and more professional. In this workshop, we’ll break down the 5 main principles of composition and show you how to apply them in real-world shooting situations to transform ordinary portraits into images that truly stand out.
This isn’t about rules that limit creativity—it’s about understanding the visual language that makes a photograph work.
The 5 core principles of composition every photographer should know
How to quickly recognize strong compositions before you press the shutter
How to guide your subject and frame scenes with purpose
How small compositional changes can dramatically elevate your images
How to create portraits that feel intentional, balanced, and impactful
This is not a lecture-style class. You’ll be shooting, adjusting, and refining your work throughout the workshop with live guidance and feedback. We’ll demonstrate each principle, then put it into practice so you can immediately see the difference in your images.
Whether you’re feeling stuck creatively or want more consistency and confidence in your portraits, The Big Picture will help you see photography differently—and start creating images that feel like finished artwork, not snapshots.
Come ready to shoot, learn, and walk away with tools you’ll use every time you pick up your camera.
