William S. Mclntosh has lectured on portrait photography in most states of the U.S., Europe, Scandinavia, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and Canada. He presently makes portraits of C.E.O.’s of major companies and their families.

About the program:

Bill will use a model and visuals to demonstrate the use of lights to illuminate the subject or group in the studio or on location. Some samples made on location will even show portraits and backgrounds lit with lights. Three-quarter length, half-length, head-and-shoulder poses, and the posing of hands in every situation will also be demonstrated.  He  will demonstrate and explain how he makes timeless, elegant, wall-size portraits of seniors that stand the test of time and hang on walls alongside paintings and watercolors.
