On April 16, 2024, Lancaster Photography Association is pleased to have Tim Meyer give a presentation about the essentials of portrait photography - lighting and posing. The meeting will be at 6:00 p.m. at the Antelope Valley Senior Center.
Ratios, pixels, chimping, metering, soft lights, hard lights, posing, lighting patterns...it can all be so confusing and overwhelming. To compete in today's photographic marketplace, professional photographers must be able to create a style and craftmaship that the average consumer cannot duplicate.
This presentation will focus on the fundamentals of quality lighting and posing, emphasizing the basic elements of studio and outdoor portraiture. With style as a consideration, Tim Meyer will illustrate how your choice of light-shaping tools, metering, ratios, facial and body analysis, and posing work together to produce dynamic results and consistently high quality images.
