About this workshop

Whether you shoot on a phone or a full-frame body, light is what makes a portrait. In this session we spend the first hour on the small handful of principles that actually matter, then the rest of the day rotating through real lighting setups with a model — flat light, short light, clamshell, Rembrandt, and a couple of dramatic edges. You leave with your own shots and a light map you can use again.
