The definitive guide to the Table Portrait.

Price: $350 

 

Join me in the studio for my complete Table Portrait workflow. This guide draws on the last 6–7 years of my work. I find it such a useful setup that works well in any context. I will take you through the complete workflow so you can introduce Table Portraits in your work as well.

 

The course is set in three chapters with a total of 2 hours and 37 minutes of content. I’ve been planning this course for the last couple of years. Finally, we put together a team and spent a week in the studio, filming it all. The only downside is that I had to wear the same shirt for a week, for continuity.

 

Chapter 1: Theory & Equipment

Chapter 2: Lighting & Posture

Chapter 3: Editing & Post-production

 

BONUS: Free Affinity Photo V2 access for the first 100 purchases (Desktop+iPad, $88.48 value)

 

If you’re looking to up your portrait game, this is definitely worth looking at.

Ivan’s approach is pure magic, and he’s recently launched a new online tutorial of his tabletop portraits.

If you’re looking to elevate your craft, I can’t recommend it enough—it’s over 2.5 hours of wisdom, and worth every cent.

Ivan Weiss’ The Table Portrait offers specific and actionable guidance for creating relaxed, natural portraits where the client poses at a table.

Weiss covers everything from set and lighting design to posing techniques and post-processing while leaving plenty of room for creativity and personal taste.

I would highly recommend this tutorial to any photographer looking to diversify their client sessions and boost image sales.

What sets Ivan apart is his ability to explain complex lighting techniques and portrait composition in a way that’s accessible, practical, and immediately applicable. 

His teaching style is methodical yet engaging, combining hands-on practice with insightful theory, allowing students to grasp concepts quickly, regardless of their experience level.

Ivan’s process is clearly articulated and matched with solid visuals to walk you through the steps.

My first session with a client after completing the course utilized key learning to improve my portraiture.

This is the definitive guide to the table portrait I’ve been waiting for! Ivan methodically takes you through his process from theory to lighting to posing.

I’ve already started applying these skills in my sessions and it has produced some extra image sales I wouldn’t have made otherwise. 100% highly recommend Ivan’s Table Portrait to any photographer!

Thousands of photography tutorials exist.  Very few, however, are as clearly presented as Ivan Weiss’ new Table Portrait series.  Ivan gets right to the heart of the matter by explaining his workflow from setup through final edits. 

He starts with a simple, yet subtly sophisticated explanation of why he likes to sit people at tables for portraiture.  That explanation immediately inspired me and made me look forward to my next portrait session. 

His light setups are universal enough that they can be recreated with several different combinations of equipment.

It’s his approach that is the difference-maker.  You simply have to see it and be inspired!

I have always been fascinated with Ivan Weiss’s portraiture work. I especially love his table portraits, which I have tried to practice in the past but couldn’t quite get right.

I watch his weekly portrait crew cast on the Headshot Crew, and I’ve attended his live workshop a couple of times; his style of teaching is simply extraordinary and very detailed.

I was so happy when I learned he had created an online Table Portrait course I could watch whenever I had time.

Watching it makes me feel like I am in the room, just like I experienced in his live workshop! 

Highly recommend this course…it is worth every penny!
