THE FINE ART OF CHARACTER PORTRAITS

Fine art character portraits are a way of photographing a subject with their real and true essence by showcasing personal passions, hands on life work and a unique sense of self or allowing them to portray a character they have always wanted to be. Character photography creates a real and true representation of the people being photographed and once in a while allows them escape reality for a moment or two. This fine art portrait photography course is dedicated to teaching you how to add fine art sensibility to your studio while also creating a high profit revenue stream.  You'll discover how to use your marketing money in the most efficient way, including strategically working with local businesses, shops, and spaces as well as how to create a strong marketing brand. You'll come away from this workshop with everything you need to identify and create inventive shooting spaces, a marketing plan, and a new look for your business whether it’s a storefront, home studio, on location or pop-up. In this behind the scenes look inside Jen’s fine art character portraits, all of the materials and processes she uses, including how she shops second hand and antique shops for clothing and props and sets up her award-winning images. Full and multiple day courses will also have the opportunity to learn Jen’s post processing on both client and competition images.  So if you want to achieve that vintage and subtle painterly feel this is the course for you! You will also learn the most sold products in both fine art full sessions and Character Portrait Keepsake Events, as well as how Jen creates, markets and sells out these events. So, whether it’s creating fine art portraits for first responders, medical professionals, ranchers or just someone that wants to have a moment as someone else and play a little adult dress up, fine art character portraiture portraits can be a highly profitable addition to your business model.
