OREGON PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS ASSOCIATION
Date: Sunday, August 2, 2026 Time: 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM PST Location: Franklin FOTO in N Portland/ In Person Only
Get inspired! We’ll discuss working with the best model you have: yourself.
What better way to journey through self-expression and self-discovery than self-portraiture?
We’ll discuss the rich history of self-portraits (beyond the smartphone selfie!)--the inherent human desire for self-reflection, introspection, and self-representation. We’ll also explore various themes and inspirations for taking your own picture.
You’ll learn about tactics, techniques, and tools to begin creating your own images.
This is a hands-on workshop, so bring your camera! (If you don’t have a ‘real’ camera, your phone will work great.) We will practice some of the techniques and you’ll walk away with a few different self-portraits to get your own journey started.
