What You’ll Learn

Balancing the Art of Lighting and Posing, Hanson will teach you how to create perfect photographic harmony, which will enable you to handle any subject’s body size and type. The Classic 10 Poses, that Hanson mastered and pioneered, will help you analyze different body sizes and types. You will learn to recognize the poses that will result in a proportional balance of the various body sizes to each other. This technique will enable you to pose any family grouping, couple, and bride & groom. The late, legendary Rocky Gunn, Hanson’s mentor and teacher, inspired Hanson’s “Flow Posing” which has been acknowledged and recognized internationally. He will share with you his secret to this elegant dance of posing that is out of this world!

In addition to the hands on posing techniques, Hanson will also teach lighting and metering techniques. You will learn how to photograph under any lighting condition; indoors and outdoors- any place, anytime. Hanson’s approach to finding the proper light outdoors is simple and uncomplicated. Proper lighting and posing will help you to create highly desirable, beautiful and timeless portraits.
