9 December from 6-8 pm at Offshoot Studio, Space 1
We’re excited to host a free Studio Portraits Photography Workshop at Offshoot.
Date: 9 December
Time: 6pm to 8pm
Location: Space 1, Offshoot Studios
This workshop explores how to capture portraits in a studio setting with continuous light. Offshoot includes continuous lights with both their studios, making this single light setup work well for both photography and videography.
The first half of the workshop will teach you to set up and use a 2-light continuous lighting system for headshots and full-body portraits. We’ll go through a few different setups, discuss how to get better portraits, and some tips and tricks when taking studio portraits.
The second half of the workshop will teach you basic posing techniques that work well with a 2-light setup, helping you to pose your subject better.
If you’re interested in taking things up a notch, we’re also running a ‘Studio Portraits: RGB + 3-Light Setup, Posing & Styling Workshop’ that will teach you how to use a 3-light continuous lighting setup and how to use RGB lights, along with more advanced posing and styling your subject.
What will be covered?
- Using a 2-light continuous lighting setup in a studio
- Backdrop setup
- Light setup and cabling
- Light positioning and lighting the backdrop and the subject
- Camera settings
- Posing a subject
- Directing a subject
Who is this for?
