Following his sold-out colour portraiture course using flash photography in June, join portrait photographer Amit Lennon for a one-day workshop exploring the creative possibilities of continuous lighting in contemporary portraiture. You will be working with a range of industry standard LED Maxima Lights.
Working in Photofusion’s professional studio, Amit will guide you through the creative and technical approaches to portrait photography, showing how colour can become a powerful storytelling tool. He will also demystify industry terminology and share practical techniques equipping you with the confidence and knowledge to develop your practice independently within a studio environment.
The course will cover:
-
Working with your subject to create expressive, engaging portraits
-
Using colour in portraiture, including key colour theory principles
-
Planning and preparing a shoot to achieve creative outcomes
-
Lighting techniques – exploring different qualities of continuous lights, studio setups and modifiers.
-
Using coloured backgrounds and props to enhance portraits
You will work with industry-standard studio lighting equipment and have the opportunity to photograph fellow participants, leaving with a selection of portraits for your portfolio. Cameras will be available on the day, but you are welcome to bring your own (fully charged with an empty SD card).
This course is suitable for photographers of all skill levels - from beginners learning the basics of lighting to more experienced photographers looking to expand their portrait portfolio. There is no requirement to have attended Amit’s previous flash photography course to join this workshop.
