Creative Lighting for Studio Portraits

See the techniques the books don't show you, and why portraits succeed or fail, with beautiful models or not.

Let each portrait you send out be a silent salesman for your services. Old clients will come back with family and referrals, and their visitors will see the portraits done by you and ask to see you! The magic ingredient that will make your portraits rise above the ordinary is lighting. Master portraitist Ibarra Deri, himself a painter, will show you how to light a portrait so it looks like it was done by the classical painters of Europe. In two days, he will reveal the creative lighting techniques that the books don't dare show!

What will be covered

Basic concepts essential for the understanding of what follows
Choosing and maximizing your equipment
The right lens for the right job
Understanding light
Using light modifiers
How to read light and shadow
How to deviate from the books
How to develop your own style
How to set up basic to three-point lighting
Posing techniques for solo and group portraits

Who should attend

Serious enthusiasts and professional portrait photographers who want to take their portraits to the next level, who have absorbed all they can from books and basic photography classes and want to apply what they know in creative ways.

Prerequisites

Participants are expected to have better than average knowledge of the workings of a camera, and preferably should have attended the PCCI basic photography workshop. Participants should bring their own cameras, ideally with manual-exposure control.

Instructor

Ibarra Deri is a well-known portrait photographer known for his unconventional approach to lighting, espousing an intelligent analysis of situations rather than textbook solutions. He has photographed well-known celebrities and politicians, and was official photographer for the Binibining Pilipinas beauty pageant.
