A workshop titled Secrets of the Ice Queen takes place at Wex Photo Video Manchester. Stephanie Thornton teaches the creation of dramatic portraits using theatrical lighting, colour and an immersive set. Tickets cost £85.00.
Step into a frozen fantasy and create dramatic Ice Queen portraits using theatrical lighting, colour, styling and a fully immersive set.
Join us at Wex Manchester and step into a frozen world. Learn how to create striking, atmospheric portraits in this creative, hands-on photography workshop. Limited to 10 places.
Working with a fully styled Ice Queen model and set, Stephanie will take you through the process of turning a creative idea into a finished portrait, exploring how styling, lighting, colour and atmosphere can all work together to tell a story.
We’ll look at how to build the lighting for a more theatrical portrait, creating shape, separation and mood while making sure the lighting complements the styling rather than competing with it.
Stephanie will then bring everything together with a live Ice Queen shoot, demonstrating the lighting setup, posing and direction while explaining the creative decisions behind the images.
Then it’s your turn to photograph the Ice Queen yourself, working with the styled set and lighting setup to experiment and create your own dramatic images.
