Introduction To Basic Studio Portrait Lighting

Learn to use continuous lighting to create traditional headshots as well as portraits using digital, film or iPhone cameras!

This workshop will teach students the basics of lighting used in the studio to create portraits. We will cover the basics starting with traditional head and shoulder headshots, explore additional lights, reflectors, modifiers, backdrops and posing. Once completed, the student will have a basic working knowledge using all the techniques and will then be able to confidently continue to learn the techniques of today's best contemporary portrait photographers.
