Fashion Lighting 1, 2, 3
Fashion photographer Lindsay Adler brings us on set to learn how to create striking beauty images with just one, two or three lights. Lindsay starts building the foundation with just one light, then teaches you how to expand on that with a second light, before getting even more creative with a third. This class is all about taking control of the light, choosing the right modifier, (whether a beauty dish, silver dish, ring flash, or even some unusual light sources you've never tried before). Along the way she also offers tips on taking inspiration from magazines, styling, and lenses to use that pair with the light to make sure your setup always meets your end goal. <br> <br> This class is perfect for anyone interested in picking up the basics of fashion photography.
