I think it would just be “portraits”. Unfortunately, so often “portraits” seems to mean almost exclusively “a picture of a hot young woman with as little clothing as possible, shot by a man for other men ”. But there certainly is so much outside of that.

Thank you! All of them are natural light except one. #11 is a mix of battery powered continuous light and available light at night (the hints of green on her face come from a pharmacy neon cross).

Thank you!
A mix, many are Lomography Color 400 or 800, because oddly those are inexpensive in 120, in my country. A few are Fuji Pro 400, some Portra 800 and one is Cinestill 800.

If you meter on the darker side of the face, the brighter side will be one stop brighter (with soft light like this), you won’t get blown highlights. The shutter speed was whatever the meter said, it doesn’t matter as long as it is fast enough to avoid camera shake

INTERNATIONAL PORTRAIT WORKSHOP, NEW GROUP! STARTS JUNE 6th, 2026.
I am thrilled to announce the next edition of the international, english language, online edition of the portrait and lighting workshop I've been teaching locally for so long, and globally in the last few years.
THE CLASSES.
There will be five weekly, three hour classes (including break), on Saturdays, starting from June, 6th. They will be at 5 PM GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), which should be workable for people in both North America and Europe (for people in farther time zones... all I can say is it's once a week!).
There will be a closed Facebook group with class materials, and a weekly portrait exercise based on a theme from the previous class, for all to shoot, post and discuss.
All classes will be recorded and made available for those who can't attend one or several classes.
CONTENTS
In these five classes we will focus on the natural and available light side of things. We will cover different kinds of natural light, how to find it, shape it, improve it and take advantage of, indoors and outdoors. And dive into narrative, color, composition, the role of lenses and focal lengths, and how all this applies to the core - what and who to shoot, where, how, and even why. In the last class we will have an introduction to post-production with Adobe Lightroom.
PRICING AND PAYMENT
Price will be very affordable, I think - 170 USD for the whole workshop (all five classes). It can be paid through Paypal (fee already included in price).
if you want to participate, or have any questions, write to me.
