IT BEGINS WITH A STORY

The Renaissance Masters had it Right

The linear perspective. The subtle interplay of shadow and light. The incredible attention to detail, made possible for the first time with the discovery of oil-based paints. And perhaps most importantly – the stories captured in the eyes and expressions of the subjects. Renaissance portraiture cast the mold for everything we know about the artistic representation of the human face. So it should be no surprise that artist Alexander Vinogradov has studied it deeply, and made it a primary source of inspiration.

THE PERFECT PORTRAIT

THE  PERFECT PORTRAIT

Alexander Vinogradov

"There has to be something unique, something special - some kind of sadness they're afraid to admit, some inner wilderness they want to explore — something that will hook you and draw you into their eyes.

The mystery in DaVinci's Mona Lisa... the longing of Raphael's Castiglione... the arrogance of Parmigianino's Portrait of a Young Lady... these artists could capture the deepest reaches of the souls of their subjects, and in doing so, reveal the humanity that connects us all.

There has to be something unique, something special - some kind of sadness they're afraid to admit, some inner wilderness they want to explore — something that will 

hook you and draw you into their eyes."

START IN THE STUDIO

Vinogradov's unique approach to portraits begins in before he picks up his camera. And he'll start by teaching you how to quickly, and authentically, connect with your models.

 

"Every subject needs to feel comfortable in front of the camera. And more importantly, they need to feel comfortable with the photographer. In order to achieve that, you must quickly gain their trust and become a friend — a friend with whom they feel comfortable sharing their deepest secrets."

"I have taught myself to be open-minded, understanding, and respectful. I truly must value and respect the model in front of me regardless of their religion, beliefs, shape, or skin color. I know that I must look deeper if I'm to touch the essence of their humanity." Moving on, you'll watch as Vinogradov reveals his lighting setups — both natural, and studio. These setups are the foundation of his trademark shots, and you'll learn exactly how to implement them for yourself.

"When I was learning portrait photography, there were two big technical sticking points - framing, and lighting. So I wanted to make sure that I covered those exact subjects, with a lot of detail."

"Then with lighting, I'm going to give you my exact setups - down to specific lighting diagrams - so whether you're shooting with natural light, or strobes, you'll know how to achieve that beautiful, subtle, painterly depth."

"Starting with framing, I'll show you exactly how to position the model. I like to shoot as close as possible to fill up the frame... without getting so close that the model feels her space being invaded!"

  • "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." If those words mean anything to you, then you'll indulge in Vinogradov's utterly simple, yet profoundly sophisticated, processing workflow.

  • Your post-processing journey with Vinogradov will take you through both CaptureOne, and Photoshop. You'll learn the subtleties and intricacies of his award-winning workflow. And as a result, you'll spend more time shooting, and less time processing.

A STATEMENT FROM THE ARTIST

A STATEMENT 

FROM THE ARTIST

Alexander Vinogradov

Like almost every beginner, I started my photography journey by photographing everything - friends, travel, landscapes... I was especially interested in landscapes, as I was born in the same town as Daniel Kordan, and was inspired by his work.

But while I enjoyed seeking out beautiful locations, and interesting places, it began to occur to me that each face on earth is a landscape unto itself... a landscape of emotions.

It wasn't long before I fell in love with portrait photography, and the unique achievement of helping someone feel seen, for who they truly are.

 

There's tremendous joy in the art of portraiture, and it's my greatest pleasure to be able to share it with you now. I look forward to seeing you inside the course!
