Black White Portraits Outdoors

Black White Portraits Outdoors

Saturday 15 February
Royal William Rd - 11:30am - 3 Hours
Plymouth Photography Group
Caleb Williams
Learn how to use natural light to advantage when working on outdoors black white portraits. This workshop will take place in the historical setting. The old master painters had a special word - chiaroscuro -meaning light-dark for the dramatic quality of shadow in portraits. This concept, as it relates to black and white portraiture, will be fully explained. The importance of 'catch lights' in eyes 'bokeh' for dreamy, soft backgrounds will also be addressed, as will the advantage of shooting in "open shade". Portraits will be taken with black and white conversion in mind, but can also be enjoyed in colour as well. The textured, stone walls and arcaded walkways in the venue will offer an atmospheric setting for this workshop!

Title or Location: Exit from Barranco Ferrer
This acrylic painting is a representation of a scene I recently encountered on a Spanish road trip. The colours from the Mediterranean sunrise against the hillside and ruins inspired me to pull away from my normal muted palette and embrace the warm tones of this beautiful place!

Title or Location: The Lord of the Skies
The Philippine Eagle is critically endangered. Considered the largest Eagle in the world it has been declared the national bird of the Philippines and was previously known as the Monkey Eating Eagle. Its habit is threatened by deforestation and its numbers are decreasing. I've always loved to see images of this bird since I was a child , in particular its piercing blue-grey eyes. Hopefully it will not dissappear in my children's lifetime.

The clothing items I used for this still life came from my closet. I was thinking about how life is more than what we wear and how it is more important that we are clothed in kindness, strength, and humility.

Oils on 56cm x 46cm canvas. Large for me!A larger canvas really does provide a wonderful opportunity to dive into the textures and subtleties of the lion cub's fur, and those expressive little details?like the way its eyes catch the light. Oils allows you to layer and blend, giving more depth and ability to play with the softness of the fur.
