This is a 12-part video series covering the basics of studio portrait photography.
Part One through to Six, filmed during a live “Introduction To Studio Portrait Photography” workshop, covers the theory and technical aspects of working in the studio. Topics covered include comparing different light sources and modifiers, camera settings, properties of light, and common lighting setups.
Parts Seven to Nine represents a practical demonstration of working with studio flash to photograph portraits, beginning with a basic one-light setup, then progressing to two, and finishing up with three lights for a more complicated setup.
Parts Ten to Twelve cover High Key lighting – looking at how to create a high-key setup with both one and two lights.
All of the practical videos feature the original images as they were captured and tethered into Adobe Lightroom Classic, straight from the camera.
