Fine Art Photography: Capture Creative Self-Portraits
|
Shoot and edit striking and unique self-portraits in an alternative way using makeup, props, and lighting.
Are your self-portraits simply Insta ‘selfies’, or are they expressions of fine art? Photographer Nassia Stouraiti has always experimented with her craft through self-portraiture, which has helped her discover herself through different lenses. Her work employs a conceptual and cinematic style, expressing intimate messages about identity, relationships, dreams, and the reality we live in.
In this online course, Nassia teaches how to use minimal resources to create captivating and unique self-portraits with fine art principles. She explains how to capture yourself using makeup, lighting, and props. You don’t need an entire crew to produce portraits of yourself!
Start the course by getting to know a bit about Nassia. She shares her journey from self-taught artist to fully-fledged professional and who has influenced her work over the years —from Ingmar Bergman to Pedro Almodovar.
Then, Nassia teaches you about the equipment and camera she uses and where she finds inspiration for her work. Explore the space you have at hand, and play with makeup and props in an original way.
Lipstick, blushes, and eye shadows are essential to Nassia’s photos; she uses them to explore her imagination and ideas. She’ll introduce you to makeup and how you can use it to create striking images. Then, set up the lights and camera and take your first pictures.
Next, move on to the second shooting with props, using only one light source. Finally, edit your selected shots using Lightroom and Affinity. Once you are done, Nassia will show you some tips on how to share your work on social media.
