Lighting Techniques for Portrait Photography – Day One: Studio Mains Flash – Welshot Creative Hub

Lighting Techniques for Portrait Photography – Day One:  Studio Mains Flash sees the return of the Welshot Photographic Lighting Academy Weekend.  Day one will cover all things ‘Mains Studio’ and you will be taken through all the steps you need to know to enable you to take, make and create great portraiture photography.  From learning how to set up your lighting equipment from the ground up, you will be taken through how using one light, then two, three and onto four lights can help you to capture a wide variety of images with different looks.  You will be shown how using a light meter can help you to get the perfectly exposed image to how working with props, modifiers and gels can change the look of your image.  Our experienced Welshot models will put you at ease immediately, and if you need help they will be only too pleased to help.  They will be wearing a variety of outfits/costumes and we will be using a wide range of backdrops and sets. If you have ever wanted to learn, perfect or hone your studio lighting for photography skills then this is the day for you.
