- Creating Mood and Atmosphere - Explore techniques to infuse emotion and atmosphere into your portraits, turning low light settings into a canvas for evocative storytelling.
- Mastering Exposure - Learn how to adjust your camera settings to achieve the perfect balance between light, shadow, and subject, ensuring your portraits retain depth and character.
- Posing and Communication - Develop the skills to guide and communicate with your subjects, ensuring their personality shines through even in the subdued light.
At the end of the workshop, you would be able to confidently handle photoshoots in different environmental conditions.
This workshop is open to anyone who is interested in portraiture photography in low light conditions and have a basic understanding of composition and exposure triangle.
