Lighting Solutions for Portrait Photography
Class Description
Join award-winning photographer and 25-year studio owner, James Schmelzer, for Lighting Solutions for Portrait Photography.
In this class, James will teach you how to light everyday people and not just perfect models. He will break down the specifics on where the lighting should be and why it needs to be there. He’ll explain how high, how far away, why you change the distance, how do you light groups, and what size light should you use?
After the basics, you will learn the seven advanced lighting patterns and why you need to use them. You’ll learn how to analyze a face and decide where to place the light to minimize flaws and flatter your subject and which lens will achieve the style you are after.
