Portrait Workshop

I recently took part in a one day portrait workshop organised by Clive and Trevor.  With the help of an excellent model named Bernadette, we spent the day going through a number of basic lighting set-ups.

We started with the simplest set-up.  No studio lighting, just the light from a window and and a reflector.

Next, we changed to a low-key lighting set-up.  First only using one studio light, then adding two more.

 From low-key, we changed to high-key, and experimented with coloured gels on the back lighting.

 Finally, as Bernadette is also a ballet dancer, we tried some dance images.
