Beyond the Frames
The Art of People Portraits
Shari Academy presents Beyond the Frames – The Art of People Portraits, a two-part workshop series tailored for photographers eager to elevate their craft. Whether you’re building foundational skills or pursuing creative mastery, these workshops will guide you beyond surface-level images.
3‑Day Intensive Advanced Workshop
In our 3‑Day Intensive Advanced Workshop, you will discover how to transform simple portraits into emotional storytelling. Step by step, you’ll learn to capture genuine expressions, not just faces. Moreover, you’ll explore both natural and studio lighting setups, along with refined posing and composition techniques. In addition, you’ll gain confidence in directing models and crafting styled portraits that enrich your portfolio. As a result, you will develop both technical proficiency and artistic depth, setting your work apart.
2‑Day Masterclass
Our 2‑Day Masterclass is designed for professionals and advanced enthusiasts ready to push creative boundaries. During this high-impact program, you will shoot four signature styles—Period Portrait, Beauty Portrait, Black & White Portrait, and Fine Art Portrait. Furthermore, you’ll master high-end lighting techniques such as Rembrandt, Clamshell, and Rim lighting. With styled models, professional makeup, and wardrobe support, you’ll produce portfolio-ready images in just two days.
Both of these immersive experiences are led by Hridgandha Mistry, X‑Ambassador for Fujifilm India and Director of Shari Academy. Through her mentorship, you gain industry insights and creative confidence that extend well beyond the classroom.
