Become an expert photographing people in public places, traveling, in the home or studio.

You will learn to adjust for four things: the subject’s concerns, your own shyness and emotions, the camera/photo technique, and the image composition.

Internationally known master photographer Larry D’Attilio has learned from years of experience how to blend these three needs. His work in the U.S., Europe, and recently in Vietnam has focused on many people from complete strangers to good friends. He completely understands, as you will, that every good “people” photo involves a human relationship.

Understanding what camera, light and composition techniques to use will become second nature to you. Through your new expertise you will be making these images from a place deep in your heart. Take this course and never again regret missing that great “people” shot.
