Program Description: Lighting and Posing 101
Christine will teach the 1, 2 and 3 light setups that she uses in the bulk of her studio portraits and competition images. Learn the basic lighting patterns that will create a solid base on which to create a wide variety of options for every client you have. She will cover custom white balance tools, light meters, lighting ratios and the use of reflectors and negative panels. She will also clue you in on a few of her handy tips that help make getting it right in camera an easily achievable goal.
Join Kristy Steeves as she shares her unique approach to photographing couples, seniors, children and families. Her two pronged approach makes it easy for photographers to understand how to pose men, women and children while getting beautifully sculpted images with lighting techniques. She delves into the details on individual body parts starting with the head and going all the way down to the toes. Her basic foundations will also help photographers who enter print competition as well as those interested in becoming Certified Professional Photographers. This session will be more than a lecture. Models will be on hand to help demonstrate effective posing to improve your images.
