About Portrait Nights

Portrait nights run once a month by Iain Jack and Paul Yates who will lead you through a variety of portrait techniques using different light set-ups and light modifiers. 

This fun and informal session is aimed at teaching and encouraging members to learn more about portrait photography and help you express your creativity and enjoying taking pictures.

The evening gives members the opportunity to shoot some images, watch others, learn some new techniques, compare images and ask as many questions as you like.
