In this full day portrait workshop Mark will take you through the process of setting up studio lighting with a professional two strobe system and supplementary speed-lights. You will learn how to adjust the lights to perfect the correct exposure and control shadows and light drop-off. You will use large soft boxes for beautifully diffused light but you will also experiment with snoots and directional lighting for dramatic effects.
As well a family portrait portrait session, a professional model will join us for indoor and outdoor glamour sessions.
After the shoot Mark will guide you through the post processing with the goal of producing a high quality, client ready image. Your favourite images will be printed on amazing high quality metallic pearl paper.
