Creating Dynamic Outdoor Portraits with High Speed Sync Photography
Course #IL05
$120 (Register in-person, space permitting. Contact instructor.)
With Edvydas Cicenas
Portrait photography is an area where it's better to stand out from the pack than blend in with the crowd. Edvydas tells you how to accomplish this difficult task. You'll explore the possibilities of using small flashes in bright daylight to create stunning, unique images. Rather than watching, you'll have the chance to see how to do it, and then do it yourself while Edvydas works with you on multiple skills – using the high speed sync on your cameras with flashes, editing in Lightroom® and Photoshop®, color balance, posing and more.
It's not your everyday type of class – but then again, who wants to produce "everyday" images! Take it to the next level with this workshop!
