About the event
Creating Cinematic Sports Portraits
A 3-Hour Interactive Workshop with Stephanie Thornton
Sports portraiture is about more than capturing an athlete. It's about creating a hero image.
Join award-winning photographer Stephanie Thornton for an immersive live workshop exploring the techniques behind powerful, commercial-quality sports portraits. Throughout the session, Stephanie will demonstrate how to build dramatic images using studio lighting, colour, atmosphere, posing, and direction.
You'll see complete lighting setups built from scratch, learn the purpose behind every light, and discover how small creative decisions can completely transform the impact of an image.
