An Introduction to Studio and On-Location Headshots and Lighting

Welcome to the inaugural event of Brooklyn's Studio Lighting and Headshots Group. This group is primarily geared towards both beginner and intermediate photographers whose focus is aimed at learning the basics of studio lighting.

It will cover laying the groundwork for simple lighting setups that remain as mainstays within the industry and are widely used in everything from actor/corporate headshots to editorial, fashion images, and commercial images.

You'll learn the basics of 45/45, loop lighting, how to look at what makes for a good key and fill pattern, as well as a number of other important matters (if the above sounds complicated, I promise it's not, and will be explained!)

Lighting will be provided on-site and you will be able to plug into a Profoto strobe system and instructed on taking headshots and portraits out of the Williamsburg studio of a professional, full-time NYC photographer.
