As we approach the winter months, many portrait photographers freeze- “Well, I’m a natural light photographer!” RESPECT! But that doesn’t mean you can’t add a little bit of flair with a simple flash or LED light. And it certainly doesn’t mean that studio portraits equal boring portraits! This class will help set the record straight!

In this workshop, we will work to create awesome portraits using simple tools and techniques so that you can create a great portrait ANYWHERE, whether in a small room or a big studio. We’re also giving this workshop a little bit of holiday flair, involving props and fun additional background items!
