WORKSHOP: Dream Forest
25 October, 2025 @ 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Is she a dream? Is she real? Join us for an exciting GHJ EXPLORE portrait workshop in Epping Forest capturing the golden tones of the season. We will be working with a gorgeous red-haired model to create otherworldly, hazy portraits while playing with diffusion filters and gobos to create a more softened look. It’s autumn and our model looks like a creation of the forest itself. The photo above is from a recent shoot by Grete, and we will be aiming for the same look.
WHO IS IT FOR:
Anyone who would love to get a more cinematic and dramatic feel to their portraiture and want to learn a bit more about how to make good lighting choices. It is best to know how to use your camera in M (manual) mode and understand exposure – the relationship between shutterspeed, aperture and ISO. If you are unsure of this, then sign up for one of our exposure workshop first!
WHAT TO BRING:
Camera, ideally prime lenses as they create softer bokeh (blurry bits behind the model), but a kit lens will also work fine. Lens range between 50-200mm.
Feel free to bring your own soft filters like Pro Mist or Cinebloom etc, but we also have them on hand for you to try.
WHERE:
Epping Forest, Loughton Brook area. The precise location will be revaled once you have booked.
TICKETS:
£120. Only 6 spaces for this one so hurry up and book! No refunds offered but you can attend another similarly priced event instead at a later date.
