Studio Portraits: 2-Light Setup & Posing Photography Workshop

This workshop explores how to capture portraits in a studio setting with continuous light. Offshoot includes continuous lights with both their studios, making this light setup work well for both photography and videography.

The first half of the workshop will teach you to set up and use a 2-light continuous lighting system for headshots and full-body portraits. We’ll go through a few different setups, discuss how to get better portraits, and some tips and tricks when taking studio portraits.

The second half of the workshop will teach you basic posing techniques that work well with a 2- light setup, helping you to pose your subject better.

If you’re interested in taking things up a notch, we’re also running a more advanced ‘Studio Portraits: RGB + 3-Light Setup, Posing & Styling’ that will teach you how to use a 3-light continuous lighting setup, how to use RGB lights, along with more advanced posing as well as styling your subject.
