[BEGINNING PHOTOGRAPHERS] Learn The Basics Of Portrait Lighting From The Pros<\/h3>\n

One of the most important things in creating astonishing portraits is lighting. Whether you want to use natural light or a studio strobe, it doesn’t really matter.<\/h4>\n

In both cases you need to understand the laws of light, and how to shape and bend light in your favor. We have seen many tutorials on how you can use a single speedlight to create several different atmospheres for a portrait.<\/h4>\n

And we all know how a change of atmosphere completely changes the outcome of the portrait, too. You will either create an unflattering photo, or turn your client into a supermodel – just by changing the direction of the main light.<\/p>\n

The best way to learn about portrait lighting is to listen to the pros, and watch how they create different types of portraits.<\/p>\n
