One Light Portraits

1 Light Required

Some of my favourite images are taken with just one light. In this course, I'll show you how to make the most of the kit you have to get some great results.

Before we begin

You can use any brand of equipment to create these shots. I have a detailed equipment section in every course so that you can look up the equivalents to what I am using with the brands you shoot with. Every shot that you see in the workflow is straight off camera. There is no smoke and mirrors here so when the test shots come up on screen, they are genuine shots, dust spots, not straight and all the other small mistakes I may make, I show you. Unless the shot has 'final image' written next to it, everything you see is straight off camera. The photos at the bottom on this page are the final retouched shots and I'll show you how I got there in the retouching section and provide you with the free actions you need to complete the same techniques.

I LOVE the look of a GOOD one light portrait and Hannah knocked this tutorial out of the park! From explaining the light placement right down to the retouching techniques, she totally takes the intimidation factor out of using a studio light for portraits if you are just learning how to use studio lights indoors! One of my favorite tutorials ever!

Very good course

I really enjoyed this class. It was very informative, and shows that you really don't need more than one light/flash.
