• Pose the subject to flatter
• Light with ease but flair using simple multi light setups
• Quickly and easily banish skin imperfections

The day begins at 10:00, ends at 17:30 and attendees will need to bring their camera along with a small selection of lenses from moderately wide to short telephoto (24mm to 200mm would be ideal).
