Natural Light Portraits

Natural Light Portraits

Sunday 25 May
Edgebrook Drive, Modesto - 10am - 2 Hours
Modesto Photography Group
Sarina Schieferstein
This meet-up will explore how we can take beautiful portraits using natural light and backgrounds. We will explore how to recognise flattering light and how to manipulate it whilst shooting in a less controlled environment than a studio. We will explore how we can work collaboratively with our subject to achieve a portrait that captures their personality and style. We will also look at posing and setting your subject at ease. Technical learning points will include accurate focusing and metering for skin tones. A model is present during the session.

The City at Night

The City at Night

Friday 20 June
Downtown Modesto - 9pm - 2 Hours

Sarina Schieferstein
Many people don't think about nighttime being a good time to do photography since there's a lack of light. However, armed with knowledge about your camera's settings and the properties of light, nighttime photography can be a lot of fun.

In this meetup, you'll learn about the best camera settings for nighttime photography. We'll also explore the kinds of light available to us and how to use that light to make some awesome photos. As always, there are exercises that will help you put your new knowledge to work.

Title or Location: The Pour
?The Pour?by Ben Cipponeri Jr.This piece began with texture. I used a palette knife to build the background, layering color tones that simply felt right?tones that, to me, carried good energy and harmony. There was no formula, just instinct and emotion. I wanted the foundation of the painting to feel like a conversation you lean into?honest, textured, and warm.At the center is a wine bottle. It looks homemade, unpretentious, and quietly personal. That was intentional. I?ve always belie

The background is softly illuminated with warm yellow and orange tones, suggesting early morning light, which contrasts with the cool whites and blues of the snow. The brushwork captures the tex

Title or Location: Quiet Grace
I met her on a busy February afternoon at Busch Gardens in Tampa ? a day full of noise, rides, crowds, and motion.In the middle of it all, she felt like a quiet island of grace.Back home, I kept returning to that photo. There was something in the way she held herself ? strength wrapped in calm, maybe even acceptance.I wanted to hold on to that moment.
