Monday, March 2, 7pm · Waiting Within the Frame: A Compositional Approach to Portraits (in person)

In this in-person speaker's presentation, Kari Herer will focus on composition as the foundation of strong portrait photography, beginning with how to recognize good light and properly expose for different lighting situations using any camera. The session will explore how thoughtful composition, including background choice and subject placement, shapes the feeling of a portrait and helps photographers approach people with confidence. Finally, Kari will emphasize the importance of slowing down and waiting for moments to unfold so the composition can fully come together rather than being rushed.

Keri began her full-time photography career in 2009 and has since worked internationally and locally with major brands including Apple and Anthropologie. She has photographed subjects ranging from everyday people to figures such as Patrick Dempsey and Janet Mills, taught workshops worldwide, and spent the past decade working closely with photographer Sam Abell, building a career grounded in using the camera as a tool for connection, witnessing, and meaning.
