As with so many aspects of life, simpler is usually better and with available light portrait photography what could be simpler?

The beauty of available light is that it is everywhere!  Any time of day!  This workshop will develop your ability to see the quality of light, make effective and quality portraits using the light that is provided.  Along with light you will learn why tonality, composition and color are important to a memorable portrait.

During the first session you will learn how to process what works and what doesn’t work.  You will explore and learn about existing light – hard, soft, bounced, reflected, and diffused.    Your goal is to capture the essence of each person through light and gesture.

With the principles learned during the first session, you will put to practice theses skills on your own and then bring these images for the second session and learn how to optimize your images in Adobe Lightroom.

A strong understanding of your digital camera and the ability to navigate Adobe Lightroom or photoshop is a must.  All students must have a DSLR and a laptop.

Two -  2 1/2 hour sessions
