This class is strictly limited to only 6 participants to ensure a quality experience.
Topics covered include:
- Understanding Editorial Vision

Who should attend:
This workshop is open to anyone who is interested in portrait photography for personal or commercial use, especially University-level students studying photography or wanting to pursue a career in portrait or commercial photography.
Pre-requisites:
This is not a basic photography workshop. All Leica Intermediate workshops require that you have a basic understanding of photography techniques and are familiar with your camera. Knowledge of basic printing and retouching concepts will be helpful to ensure that you get the most from the experience.
For those whom have never been formally trained in photography or a novice (only using automatic), we strongly suggest a pre-requisite workshop in Photography Fundamentals.
