Night Portrait Wrap-Up
What You Will Learn?

- This is a real shame because shooting portraits at night can be fun, creative and highly addictive. You just need a few helpful hints to be able to produce photographs that will amaze your audience..
- I love shooting at night because the possibilities are endless. I can record a period in time rather than an instant as we do with daytime images. By using the various light sources available at night and knowing how to control them I can simplify my compositions which puts much more emphasis on my subject..
- Because few photographers venture out at night, your images will appear a little different to the mainstream photography we see..
- I’ve been shooting at night for many years and I’m still amazed at unique images possible. Every time I go out after dark I trial a new technique that allows me to build on my skills and my repertoire..
- There are a few things that the night portraitist needs to have in place to increase their chances of success:.
- Have a plan in mind.
- Take some kind of camera support (such as a tripod)..
- Think about what lighting you may be using..
- Organise a subject to shoot and talk to them about the results you want to achieve..
- In this class I will teach you how to control all aspects of your night portraits..
- You will see well over one hundred examples of my night images..
- You will also see twelve live night time model shoots so you can see the way I control the lighting, environment, subject and compositions..
- After you have done this class you will be armed with the skills to tackle similar shots to those you see here. I’m sure that you will love this class..
