About the Portrait Group

Second Monday of the month, 8:00pmJo

All MCC members, especially new and provisional members who wish to gain an insight into the wonderful and challenging world of studio portraiture, are invited to participate in our monthly Portrait nights. These practical sessions are held on the second Monday of each month, February to November inclusive, in the Club’s studio facility downstairs, commencing at 8 p.m.

For photographers:

Both film and digital photographers are welcome. 

We try to run two light/backdrop setups simultaneously with a volunteer model for each, swapping models mid-way through the evening.

The lighting used is either studio flash or tungsten; with 100 ISO and 400 ISO film respectively being the best choice for those shooting film. Tripods or monopods are useful, but not essential.

Any advice or assistance required is always readily available, and we try to give everyone the opportunity of obtaining some excellent results. Of course, real success depends largely upon the photographer’s communication with his or her subject!

For models:

13feb06_0062 We're always looking for keen models (male or female). In the past we've had circus acrobats, athletes and actors in addition to our regular 'fashion' models.

Models are promised a few prints from each photographer as a thank you. Some of our digital photographers even supply copies of their digital 'negatives' on CD!

If you are interested in participating in this group (as model or photographer), send an email to the group co-ordinators: Patrick Jackson & John van Hirsel

 
Information for Models

The Portrait Group is made up of both professional and amateur photographers who have a common interest in portrait photography. These nights are a great way to further our skills, learn from each other and provide an opportunity to shoot different faces each month.

For new members to the Club it is a great opportunity to learn about portraiture and observe and practise in a relaxed environment.

For our models it is a great learning experience, a fun night and a very inexpensive method of putting together a portfolio of images. Each photographer obtains different results and in the past models have received back numerous images, many that they are really pleased with.

Models who are keen for further work (mostly trade for prints) often make contacts on the night and seek followup individual shoots with some of the photographers (but this is totally at your discretion).
