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