The Soul of Portraiture: A Four-Day Portrait Photography Immersion in Santa Fe

Fritz Liedke and Santa Fe Workshops
May 12 – 15, 2026
Santa Fe, New Mexico
$2195
In this immersive four-day workshop in Santa Fe, fine-art and commercial photographer Fritz Liedtke guides you beyond technique into the true art of portraiture. Together, we’ll explore what it means to see deeply, connect authentically, and create images that transcend the ordinary.
Amid the luminous light and rich textures of Santa Fe, you’ll photograph inspiring models in evocative locations—desert landscapes, adobe walls, and old-world courtyards—to create portraits that are beautiful, and meaningful.
Through discussions, live demonstrations, and guided photo sessions, you’ll refine your artistic voice, learn to use natural and artificial light with intention, direct your subjects with confidence, and develop your editing process to enhance mood and style. With Fritz’s hands-on guidance and immediate feedback, you’ll learn to create portraits that reflect your unique artistic vision.
On a personal level, Fritz also guides you through exercises that help you break through emotional barriers, refine your artistic vision, listen to your intuition, and discover the poetry within portraiture.
In this workshop, we cover the following—and much more:
• Researching and scouting locations that are suitable for portraiture
• Using model releases and building professional relationships with your talent
• Studying the work of master portrait photographers to emulate and expand upon their techniques
• Building rapport with subjects and posing them with clarity and ease
• Finding and shaping natural light to create evocative portraits
• Using portable artificial lighting (flash) effectively and creatively on-location
• Editing efficiently and beautifully in Lightroom and other software
• Developing a cohesive portrait projects or series
• Identifying and overcoming fears and limitations that hinder your portrait photography
You will leave Santa Fe not only with striking new images and new friendships, but with fresh insight, confidence, and new ways of seeing and understanding people through portraiture.
