Photograph the Male Nude under Natural Light
Saturday July 6
Model releases will be offered so that you can use the images you shoot for any purpose (such as portfolio building, or creating artworks)
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
This is a one-time workshop offered by Teresa Ascencao, Instructor at Easy Camera Art ~ an exquisit opportunity to work with an experienced live nude model, Phlip Arima.
This natural light photography workshop focuses on fully Manual shooting mode. You will be guided through Aperture, metering and focal lengths appropriate to portraiture (see recommended lenses below under “What to Bring”).
Topics also covered are: metering, histogram, ISO, white balance, reflectors, abstraction and composition of the human form, mood and form through natural light.
WORKSHOP DETAILS
We will be shooting hand held for greatest flexibility with angles and compositions, but participants may bring a tripod if they wish (for lower ISO settings such as 100).
Through easy visuals, I begin by briefly explaining the general flow of light through the camera, especially with respect to the Aperture, Shutter and sensor. Before we start shooting, we will briefly observe and discuss the quality and direction of light falling on the model and how we will manipulate it.
In preparation for shooting, I will get everyone to take a metre reading of light on the model. I will facilitate the first poses the model takes. Later, participants will take turns getting experience in asking the model to move around under the natural light with poses of particular interest.
This is an indoor event, so it goes forward rain or shine! 🙂

WHAT TO BRING
– DSLR camera
– a telephoto lens (anywhere from 80mm up to 200mm). a – 50mm fixed lens is also great! note, fast lenses (that allow wide open Aperture settings, such as f1.4, f.1.8 or f2) are best (but not necessary).
– fully charged battery
– cleared memory card (preferably reformatted if you know how)
– tripod (if you don’t have a fast lens or if you don’t want to increase your ISO)
– light comfortable clothing so that you can easily move around in
– bathing suit or birthday suit if you wish to enjoy the blue flag beaches before or after the shoot! 🙂
HOW TO GET THERE
This premium workshop is located at Artspace Gibraltar Point, which is on Toronto Island ~ a 15 minute ferry ride from downtown Toronto:https://plus.google.com/112270196252806924176/about?gl=ca&hl=en
The Toronto Ferry Docks are located near the intersection of Bay St. and Queens Quay (on the west side of the Westin Harbour Castle hotel). Once you arrive at the Ferry terminal, take the Centre Island ferry over to the island.
Cycling is a great way to get around the island (about 10 minutes from Centre Island), but you can also walk (about 25 minutes). The ferry system, Toronto Island and Artscape Gibraltar Point are all wheel chair accessible.

IMPORTANT
The first portion of this workshop contains critical information and starts at 2pm sharp. Please arrive 15 minutes early to set up. Anyone arriving late will have to follow along and will be brought up to date (in a quicker fashion) once everyone begins shooting.
