Portraits on Location

Here's a few samples from out 'Portraits on Location' class. We met at the Showcase School for a few hours of lecture and tech info and then headed out to the location - Belly General Store in the Virginia-Highlands neighborhood in Atlanta. Belly was a great backdrop to practice our location lighting and metering techniques, with a mix of strobe, incandescent and natural light, balancing them all to create a pleasing photo.

Jack meters the strobe light.

Jesse - our semi willing model.

Andrea steps up as a subject, notice the great balance and control of light from interior to exterior.

Shannon had her moment in the spotlight with another example of controlling the mix of light (strobe and sunlight).
