program information
Bill Cadzow feels there are four basic elements to consider when creating a portrait. These four elements are lighting, composition, posing and design/clothing. Mastering these elements will separate you from your competition and literally determine a professional piece of work from an amateur piece of work. It will be the difference from meriting an image or not. It can be the difference from selling the image to your client, or not. In this class, Bill will break down the basics and provide you with some simple rules of posing to incorporate into your work. This journey will be fun and interactive
about the speaker
For over twenty years, Bill Cadzow has been utilizing his passion for photography to create award winning images. In his first year in business, he competed and was awarded his first Merit Image through the Professional Photographers of Florida. It was then that his competitive spirit and the love of the medium drove his artistic and creative desire. Bill juggled a full time career in the fire service, a young family, and a photography studio. Love for all three spread him thin but the passion continued.
Bill earned his Degree of Photographic Excellence and his Master Photographer Degree. In 2022, Bill ranked number four in the state with his competition images as a whole and was also the Tampa Area Professional Photographer’s 2022 Portrait Photographer of the Year. Bill specializes in Fine Art Family Portraiture and creates Mixed Media Fine Art Paintings as finished pieces.
Bill loves sharing what he has learned and giving back to the industry with instructional seminars. He continues to learn and greatly values the education earned through competition.
