Portrait Photography Masterclasses with John Steven Martinez
Kicking off the Basics of Portrait Photography + Polaroid event series, Montcalm East’s very own photographer in residence John Steven Martinez (IG: @johnsteven.martinez) will be giving guests and visitors the opportunity to learn the art of portrait photography using different lighting techniques and camera mediums through a series of masterclasses. Running over three sessions, these intimate and in-depth classes will take place in the photography studio at Montcalm East and local area where John is currently undertaking his residency.
Here, budding photographers will be taken on a journey to learn skills from the basics through to shooting in the studio and partaking in a photo walk around the local area using a Polaroid camera.
John joins Montcalm East following a recent project which saw him travel to Quindio in Colombia to create a book capturing the vibrant colours, culture and exceptional coffee. During the month-long visit, John lived among the farmers to understand and capture their traditional coffee making ways and life on the ‘Finca’. The book documents the coffee production process, from the fields where the coffee cherries are harvested to the roasting rooms where the beans are transformed into rich, aromatic brews that we all love.
