Most of us spend a majority of our photography time capturing images of family and friends around the house and in our neighborhood. This hands-on course explores the use of natural light, basic flash, and constant lights to enhance lifestyle images of family and friends. We'll combine flattering lighting with basic tips for everyday posing that will help you create images your family members will treasure. Please don't purchase anything in preparation for this course; we'll explore a variety of lighting options during class, which will allow you to make an informed decision of what to buy later. Course requirements: you'll need a camera capable of shooting in manual mode, a positive attitude, a willingness to learn from mistakes, and the ability to treasure your successes.
