Instructor Teresa Berg has been making studio portraits sing for over 20 years and knows that studio lighting is a building process. In this workshop, we’ll start with one light and a reflector to make lots of beautiful portraits of live models in the studio.
One-light portraits can be so compelling that you might not even want to progress to more lights and different set-ups. We’ll explore the benefits and techniques of adding additional lights, so you have the option of going deeper.
We’ll learn about simple posing techniques, how to set up a simple (inexpensive) studio that you can use at home – or on location – and how to get results that look and feel timeless and professional. Best of all, you are learning hands-on with your camera and a professional by your side to guide and help you along the way.
This workshop will be held in-person at Dallas Center for Photography.
