Photography 201: Outdoor Portrait & Headshot Speedlight and Flash Techniques

Eric Leuthardt Photography presents Photography 201: Outdoor Portrait & Headshot Speedlight and Flash Techniques

20110306-_MG_9702

Do you have a speedlight or two? Do you want to add more mood and options to your outdoor portraits? Have you ever wanted to add some detail to a model and needed more than a reflector? This class is for you. We will cover simple fill flash to balance the sun as well as more advanced techniques such as overpowering the sun and other special effects. This is a hands on class designed to teach you the basics of outdoor portrait and headshot lighting using speedlights.

Topics covered will include:

  • Single light
  • Two light
  • Overpowering the sun
  • Special effects

I will have equipment on hand and will demonstrate these ideas, so make sure to bring your cameras as a model will be present and you will have the opportunity to photograph the model using the basic lighting set ups to help reinforce the material being taught. If you have your own speedlights and transmitters, feel free to bring them.

This class will last approximately 2.5 hours.
