Refine your portrait skills in this dynamic, weeklong lighting workshop, where we delve into the three main elements of lighting: direction, quality, and depth. We also explore their intricacies, including lighting patterns, how they define the face, and how to control their quality through light modifiers. Following step-by-step instructions in manual and TTL modes, participants work with both studio strobes and portable flashes, shooting with models at several locations in NYC and in the studio. This energetic and valuable workshop is for emerging photographers or those who seek to make better portraits, with or without a lot of expensive equipment.

Note: Familiarity with Adobe Lightroom is required for this course

Course Level / Prerequisite: Intermediate: You are familiar with a camera, whether film or digital.
