What You Will Learn?

  • If you've ever felt intimidated by studio lighting, then you're not alone! For a long time, I struggled to understand all the numbers, formulae and technical detail that seemed to be a necessary requirement for getting started with studio strobes, especially as I just wanted to get back to creating beautiful portraits!.
  • I finally had a breakthrough, and realised that my knowledge of photographing people using windowlight was all I needed to get started..
  • If you're reasonably confident with natural light photography, this tutorial will give you the confidence and skills to invest in, set-up and use your first studio light, including three very different lighting patterns you can create with just a single flash in a soft box..
  • This class covers:.
  • For each portrait you’ll see my images straight-out-of-the-camera with exposure settings and the final edit, too. We'll finish off with some words of encouragement before it's over to you to put your new skills into practice!.
  • Enjoy - and don't miss the outtakes at the very end! :-).
