Illumination is more than just light—it’s shadow and contrast; it is the collective foundation that defines a portrait’s mood and aesthetic.
In this inspiring class, we’ll explore the dynamic interplay of light and shadow and the integration of layered backdrops to craft images that feel both cinematic and impactful.
Through the creative use of constant lights, you’ll learn to imbue your portraits with dimension and emotion, enhance depth with shadows, and incorporate texture, tonality, and set design as powerful storytelling elements. From soft and ethereal to bold and dramatic, we’ll deconstruct how to use light and shadow as expressive tools to elevate your creative vision.
Whether you’re just beginning your journey into creative portraiture or seeking to reinvigorate your passion while refining your skills, this class will inspire you to see and shape light in new ways and push the boundaries of your artistry.
