In conjunction with Tod Papageorge: At the Beach + In the Pool: On Influence, we invite you for an evening of classical portrait-making with artist and photographer Lewis Derogene. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore how to channel the elegance and drama of Baroque paintings into your own portrait photography.
We’ll begin with a quick look at masterworks by painters like Vermeer and Rembrandt to better understand techniques—like chiaroscuro—that defined the era. Then, we’ll dive into how those same effects can be recreated through lighting, composition, and set design.
Bring your camera or smartphone + bring a partner too, as you’ll be photographing each other! You’ll learn how to set up lighting and backdrops, use fabric and props to build a scene, and frame portraits that feel both timeless and personal.
At the end of class, participants will upload their top shots for a group critique. Images will be displayed on a large monitor for constructive feedback and shared inspiration.

Across the arc of her prolific career, Academy Award-nominated actress Amy Irving has discerningly crafted a captivatingly eclectic resume, from Shakespeare to Carrie, Arthur Miller to Yentl, Chekhov to Crossing Delancey. Shifting from acting into music with her 2023 debut album, Born In A Trunk, wasn’t something she exactly anticipated. But, as Irving explains, “I was ready to move on to something a little different, something else to light the fire in my belly. I’ve been acting since I was a baby, so it was like, okay, you can do something else now. And I’m lucky that I have something else to do.”
