What You Will Learn?
- This class will show you how you can set up a photography or video camera room for doing portrait photography..
- While it includes information that may be for intermediate to professional photography level students, there are segments that can be very helpful to the beginner students. Setting up a mobile lightweight on-location photography setup, using fluorescent or LED lighting can also help you. There is even a section on iPhone portrait photography that can help beginners move up to a more professional level of portrait photography..
- A good companion course to help you understand lighting more would be my "Seeing The Light as a Photographer and Artist" - https://skl.sh/2GAsVtq..
- Here's what's covered:.
- Placement of lights in your studioPurpose of each lightCamera & Lighting settings & adjustmentsGear for portable lighting on locationiphone portrait photographyimage editing for both iPhone & DSLR/Mirrorless imagesand more.
- Why Studio Photography:Most of us love to travel & do our photography in the great outdoors and there is nothing wrong with that. My favorite portrait session is doing outdoor engagement portraits and outdoor family portraits..
- One obstacle that we encounter is something that we cannot control, that would be the weather. Rain, snow, ice, freezing cold, blistering hot, even bugs could be a problem for some people..
- Don't get me wrong, I love the challenge of photographing in adverse conditions and I really appreciate the type of clients who seek the same adventure. I've photographed an engagement session in a blizzard. We started off in the camera room before going outdoors and facing the blizzard. I had to put a plastic bag over my camera and let the front end of the lens show through..
- We weren't out there too long but long enough to get several really nice photos. One of them was awarded a blue ribbon in our professional photographer regional print competition. Plus, because I had a studio camera room available, I was still able to do a complete portrait session..
- In a nutshell, this type of photography offers more control for you to deliver portraits on a consistent basis..
- If you are looking at photography as a business, indoor portrait sessions can be a great opportunity to increase profits and expand your business. You don't have to give up your outdoor adventure portraits, but just offer this in addition..
