CreativeLive fans, this is our chance to hang out in Vegas! Leave the lighting gear and models for another Photo Walk, it's time to get real. I've led photographers through the streets of Cuba and Morocco, teaching by example how to approach and create authentic portraits of strangers, even those that don't speak the same language. This is not about using your 70-200mm lens to capture someone from a distance. This is about connection. Using body language and eye contact, and finding commonalities before you put your camera to your face, you'll learn how to improve your portraits immediately by putting yourself out there and conquering your fears. Attendees will walk away from this Photo Walk with the skills and confidence to create authentic portraits of clients, strangers, friends or family resulting in "look at the emotion in those eyes!" comments.
