Time Out’s in-house photographer Rob Greig has been snapping top celebrities and the capital’s stroppiest divas, most salt-of-the-earth cabbies and wildest cabaret self-creations for over a decade.
Over one focused weekend course, Rob will teach you how to compose and craft gallery-quality portraits, and improvise candid masterpieces on the fly and on the street.
You’ll learn lighting, how to frame your shots, putting your subject at ease and how to get the best from every situation. You’ll even get an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the National Portrait Gallery archives.
