Deep Dive into Portrait Photography

This is an intense all-day class in portrait photography. We’ll cover a variety of topics and lighting from natural light, hotshoe flashes, with the majority of our time focused on professional studio strobes and modifiers. We will show you how to properly use the lighting equipment, and many of the common pitfalls to avoid in a shoot.

Please note, this will not be a disorganized model shoot out. We may bring in a model later in the day, but the majority of the time, we’ll shoot each other to test concepts and processes.

Starting. there will be some classroom time going over the technical stuff. We will then start applying the knowledge with various shoots. There isn’t a set end time for this class. We will go as long as people like. The class will cover a variety of topics, but if you have any particular problems or questions feel free to contact us.
