Do you want to have beautiful photos of yourself when traveling?

Of course you do! ;-)

This course is designed to teach you how to take your own travel portraits.

If you’re traveling alone, or your travel partner lacks the visual eye, asking someone else to take your picture can result in some really unflattering photos. Or maybe you’ve once returned home without any pictures of yourself?

Sound familiar? Let’s fix that!

Taking your own portrait will give you maximum control, resulting in better photos. You’ll be able to capture beautiful memories. You’ll explore how you look good in a photo. And in the meantime you’ll take your photography skill to a higher level.

What makes me qualified to teach you?

I’m a self-employed photographer that loves traveling alone. A few years ago, I started taking self portraits to explore my creativity. When I traveled to Indonesia on my own, I used this skill to capture beautiful travel portraits of myself. And I’ve been doing that ever since because I just love it that much.

Some things you will learn in this class

How to pose if you're not a model
Setting up a camera to take self portraits
Finding the best lighting
Scouting a good location
…

The gear you (don’t) need

We’re going beyond the selfie by using the self timer on our camera. This means you can use any camera that has a self timer. Your smartphone counts as well!

My preferred way of shooting self portraits is by using my phone as a remote control for my mirrorless camera and by putting the camera on a tripod.

However, don’t get discouraged if you don’t have those things. I’ll also show you how to take photos without a tripod or remote control.

What you won’t learn in this class

You don’t have to be a professional photographer to follow along with this class but if you want to learn the specifics of how to use a DSLR camera or how to edit, I can recommend browsing on Skillshare. There’s a lot of great classes on the topic.

Let's go! :)
