Course Content
Portrait photography can be equally revealing both for the photographer and for the model. Lighting patterns, model direction, and postproduction are all conscious decisions that create an atmosphere and give clues about who the person behind the camera is, and what they want to communicate with their photos.
In this course, you’ll learn how to approach a conceptual portrait photography session, going through every phase of the process with Verónica Cerna, a Peruvian-born photographer who’s been recognized by the International Photography Awards, and The Photo Phore, and has been published in magazines, such as Musée Magazine, Shots Magazine, better Photography, and Revista Pecado.
This course will walk you through every part of the process. You’ll learn to start with an idea, and then how to use Verónicas favorite lighting patterns, and finally how to edit images as if they were paintings in Adobe Photoshop.
