About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

In this lighting demo, Charles will show you how to transform a small space into a fully functional one-light headshot studio. He’ll start by showing you his compact gear that you can carry anywhere.

 Join Charles as he shares his creative process. He will guide you step-by-step from start to finish, including setting up, positioning your gear, explaining the key settings on your camera, light placement, and any tips for getting the most out of a minimal setup. By the end, you'll see how easy it is to create professional-quality headshots in the most unexpected places.

Charles Chessler is a NYC based headshot and portrait photographer.

He's a late bloomer who is thrilled to be doing work that he loves. Wanting to be mobile in the city, he put together a studio kit which he can take on the subway and he's looking forward to sharing that with you today.

Charles is also a proud ambassador with Wildlife Conservation Non-Profit, Wild Tomorrow, and can't quite believe that he gets to go to South Africa and help the cause of conservation through photography.

He has a few ongoing personal projects, the longest of which is "Agreeable Strangers" (14 years). It consists of two minute street portraits celebrating our diversity and shared humanity through a random encounter and photo of whomever Charles happens to meet in a particular moment.
