Portrait Photography in Bochum: Effectively Illuminate People
On Thursday, December 17, 2026, the Volkshochschule Bochum invites you to a hands-on workshop on portrait photography. The focus is on how to create expressive portraits using light, perspective, lens choice, and camera control.
Seeing Light, Reading Faces, Shaping Images
A person's face tells stories – portrait photography makes these visible. In the workshop, participants will explore how natural and artificial light changes the impact of images. Reflectors, photo lamps, and varying amounts of light are part of the practical work, as well as the intentional design of shadows and contrasts.
Understanding and Practically Using Technology
Another focus is on suitable lens focal lengths and camera modes Av or A, P, and M. The event is aimed at photography enthusiasts who are already familiar with the basic operation of their cameras and want to deepen their technical knowledge purposefully.
Bringing Your Own Camera for Better Portraits
For the workshop experience, participants should bring their digital single-lens reflex camera or mirrorless system camera along with the instruction manual, charged batteries, memory card, and available lenses. Additional photography accessories can also be utilized. Thus, the course combines professional introduction, practical exercises, and immediate experimentation.
