Seminar Info:
Spend the day with Glen creating images and exploring the possibilities off-camera flash, light modifiers, and imaging software. Your journey starts with understanding lighting and light modifiers and progresses throughout the day to cover posing, adding accent lights, and various Photoshop techniques to enhance your final image.
The goal of the seminar is simple – demonstrate various techniques that will take an ordinary (good) portrait and make it a portrait that draws you in. With the use of models and a studio setup, Glen will guide you through his thought process as he creates images. Starting with a basic overview of the lights, modifiers, basic portrait lighting, and lenses the seminar will quickly transition to the finer points – the tilt of the head, the eye position, or the placement of an accent light.
The afternoon will continue with portrait lighting and then transition to the selection and enhancement of a few of the images from the day. This will allow you to see what we started with at the time of capture to the final image after postproduction. Various corrective techniques and enhancements will be demonstrated to show you how to improve the look of each image.
So why not spend a day with Glen - learning, networking and just having fun?
