Introduction to Portrait Photography Techniques
Portrait photography is a valuable skill that every photographer should be competent at. If you are good with a camera, at some point, you WILL be asked to shoot a portrait for a friend or relative regardless of the genre you shoot.
This presentation will begin with an overview of what makes a great portrait and the prep you should be doing before picking up the camera.
Joe will review the essential gear needed to shoot portraits on location or in a studio setting. He will also do a virtual studio demo to show you an almost foolproof approach to lighting that you can master with minimal practice.
What you will learn:
- Camera and lens selection
- Lighting options.
- Foolproof lighting setups.
- Background selection.
- Posing and directing for relaxed, natural looks.
- Cropping and Composition.
- …and much more!
Who should attend this LIVE presentation?
Photographers of all skill levels who are beginning to explore portraiture and want an excellent primer.
