NJCS: Part II - Compelling Portraiture Live Shoot with Jonny Edward
Step into the studio and a dynamic headspace where technique meets intuition, where portraits are rooted in human connection and elevated to artful storytelling. Embolden your creative process and deepen your understanding of both the art and science of portraiture.
Renowned photographer, art director, and educator Jonny Edward will guide you through his approach to layering light, shaping shadow, and connecting from both behind the camera and through the lens. Practice these lessons with a studio set, models, and Jonny's assistance.
Attendees are also welcome to register for Part I: Compelling Portraiture for a more in-depth presentation on his unique approach to portraiture.
*Bring your cameras!
*This workshop takes place in the Loading Dock (back of the building).
JONNY EDWARD
"For me, portraiture is a sincere conversation, a wonderfully surreal collaboration between light, shadow, trust, and truth. It is a way for me to make others feel seen, heard, safe, loved, accepted, and celebrated; to tell their singularly unique stories and, in the process, tell a bit of my own. Ultimately, it's the alchemy of humanity and reciprocity. To that end, over the last 11 years, I've photographed tens of thousands of people — artists, rebels, entrepreneurs, rock stars, leaders, dreamers, the everyday folks, and uncannily uncommon individuals, those at the very top of their game and those navigating the lowest points in their lives, the shy and the bold alike. I've created and taught around the country and across the globe, exploring how contrast and narrative intertwine, and at times, combine to reveal who we truly are. My camera has been a passport to new worlds, a powerful conduit for heartfelt connection with fellow humans, and a mirror through which I've come to know and love myself."
