It can be challenging to take a portrait, but it can feel daunting to utilize lighting. Join Hunt’s Photo Educator Paul Nelson as we strip away the complexities of using lighting and discuss and work with ONE LIGHT to create beautiful quality portraits!
In this workshop, we will discuss working with strobes (that’s the fancy term for a flash), but also constant LED lighting. We will work in our Hunt’s Photo Waltham class space. Using lighting doesn’t have to be difficult, so join us to find out how to do it right!
