A portrait should not just capture the persons likeness, but also capture their personality as well. And some of the best portraits are taken, not in a fully equipped studio, but using one available light source. This light source could be your speed light but it could just as easily be the natural light that surrounds us every day.
This course will show you how to use your camera to take pictures of people using both a single speed light (flash gun) and also the best techniques in using natural light from the sun. So we will be studying this medium both indoors and out.
The day will include practical advise on how to compose your shots, making the most of available light and also techniques on the best settings to use on your camera.
