In this class students will learn the basics of creating a dynamic and engaging Headshot with studio and hand held flash. Ambient, 1 light, 2 light, and ultimately 3 light setups will be constructed and practiced by students over the course of 3 weeks. Students will also learn to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere where non professional actors/models can radiate and evoke confidence and personality. Images created in the class will be compared and reviewed each week. A working knowledge of Photoshop or Lightroom is preferred but not required. A firm understanding of camera operation in manual mode is required.
