Greg Gorman: The Connected Portrait - Masterclass


SOLD OUT!

THIS WORKSHOP SOLD OUT IN 36HRS. WAITLIST OPEN.

Join legendary Master Photographer Greg Gorman in beautiful midcoast Maine for a 5 day Masterclass, The Connected Portrait.

Greg Gorman has been teaching workshops domestically and internationally for the past 40 years. Known for his illustrious career in the motion picture industry, Greg has photographed most of Hollywood’s icons, but is perhaps best known for his stark use of light and uncanny ability for getting inside the heads of some of the industry’s most complex personalities.

Through his highly regarded workshops, Greg explains how to see and understand light and how to communicate with the talent to get that connected portrait. Classes are small, intimate and completely hands-on.

Each student will have an ample amount of time daily to photograph diverse characters and photogenic models under Greg’s guidance. The following morning each person’s work will be critiqued in an open forum.

Capturing the soul of a person in a photographic portrait is the central theme of this intimate workshop in which Greg shares his vision and his process from both the intuitive and technical perspectives while shooting.

Working with pro lighting gear from California Sunbounce and RotoLight, you’ll have access to studio space, representatives from Rotolight and Fujifillm, as well many beautiful indoor and outdoor locations where you’ll with both artificial and natural light. The 16 acre estate offers many varied and photogenic vignettes.

In addition to an inspiring week with likeminded artists, our lakeside setting will do wonders for your spirit too.  Let the call of the Loons help you forget the year that’s been and ignite your creative spark.

We’ll sprinkle in yoga by the lake, meditation in the woods, delicious chef prepared meals we’ll share as a group, and other activities to help make this not only a wonderful time to advance your artistic vision, but a great opportunity for you to ‘reset’ from the daily grind, while building lifelong connections with other artists who share your interest in creating this type of work.  

So much more than a workshop, this is an experience you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

LIMITED TO: 12 PARTICIPANTS ONLY

DATE: August 29, 2021, 5:30pm to September 3, 2021 - 1:30pm (some evening sessions will be scheduled)
