Who should attend?
This
workshop is recommended for portrait photographers who wish to expand
their creative abilities in a studio environment. All participants
should know how to use their cameras.

Take a look at a video on the blog here.
The session was for the elite Evolve group of photographers on a 10
month intensive business training programme. All the pictures were shot
against a grey or white background. The colour was added with filter
gels.

What you will learn:
How to use hard light, soft light, key light, fill light, kickers and backlights empowering
you to be able to create portraits of all styles. Learn how to control
contrast, how to separate the foreground and background lighting in a
shot, and how to use reflectors in beauty photography. There is no
substitute for a thorough understanding of light and its application
when creating portraits in the studio, and this masterclass in lighting
for portraits will demonstrate how studio space can be used to give you
total control of your environment. The skills and the knowledge you
take from this workshop will be equally valid whether you work on
location or in the studio.
If you want a sneak peek at Damien's teaching style, take a look at the 7 minute video on the blog here.

What you will have at the end of the day to take away:
1.
You will be shooting portfolio images you can use right away, on your
website, in brochures or on your studio walls. The models we use are
professionals and will be patient with us.
2. You
will have a new repertoire of lighting styles and images you can shoot
in your own studio spaces. This will give you the edge over your
competition and you will feel a renewed excitement for studio shooting.
