With over 30 years practicing the art of photography, Hanson will demonstrate his successful techniques that apply to both portrait and wedding photography during his program titled, “Harmonizing the Art of Posing and Lighting.”

Balancing the art of lighting and posing, Hanson will teach how to create perfect photographic harmony by enabling you to be able to handle any subject’s body size and type.

The Classic 10 Poses that Hanson mastered and pioneered, will help photographers analyze different body sizes and types.

Photographers will learn to recognize the poses that will result in a proportional balance of the various body sizes to each other.

In addition to the hands on posing techniques, Hanson will also teach lighting and metering techniques.

Shutterbugs will learn how to photograph under any lighting condition — indoors and outdoors; any place and any time.

Hanson’s approach to finding the proper light outdoors is simple and uncomplicated. Proper lighting and posing creates highly desirable, beautiful and timeless portraits.
