Portrait Photography is the flagship course designed by Beijing Center of Photography. It is the most popular class among our students.

Learn the techniques, develop a unique and personal sense of aesthetics. Most importantly, find out how to conceptualize a good portrait. Students will also learn about the post-production digital imaging process and study the works of past portrait Masters.

Note:
Models are not included in this Portrait Photography Class.
Hiring professional models would increase the cost of this class.
Instead, we will be calling out for volunteer actors and models who like to get pictures in return for their time volunteered.
As this is a class training the skills of portraiture, using amateur models and friends will provide equal, if not better training.
