In this full-day, hands-on class, Jamie Hayes will break down the principles of portrait lighting into practical, easy-to-understand concepts that you can immediately apply in your own work. You'll learn how to see light before you ever pick up your camera, create dimension and depth, choose the right modifiers, control direction and quality of light, and confidently work in both studio and on-location environments. Jamie will demonstrate efficient lighting techniques, explain why they work, and show how small adjustments can dramatically improve your images. Whether you prefer natural light, off-camera flash, or a fully equipped studio, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of light and the confidence to create beautiful, consistent portraits in virtually any situation.
