Using available light for natural portraits

"You will just need your camera and one lens to produce a series of natural portraits"

You will learn

• Natural portraits using window light
• Mid-day summer photography techniques
• Over cast day portrait technique
• Portraits using trees and archways
• Using reflectors and lens hoods
• Adobe lightroom portrait technique
• Photoshop retouching - portraits

As a wedding photographer I have to constantly find available light to photograph couples in all sorts of places. This workshop will make you realise how little equipment you need to make beautiful portraits. I will show you all the secrets that professional photographers use to produce natural images with available light indoors and outdoors. Just bring along a digital slr with a 70-200 zoom lens and lens hood, that's all you will need.

If you are a keen amateur photographer or professional photographer this workshop will 'free you' from using to much equipment and you will learn how to produce natural portraits under available daylight.
