From the Portrait Photography Workshop - Burlesque Dancer


The portrait photography workshop is great fun and and you get to learn new techniques on lighting, posing, image constuction and also on building a rapport with your model. In this shoot we used a fabulous model Lola who is also a burlesque dancer, as you can see the dark coloured feather fans worked perfect. One of the techniques we worked on in this workshop was how to use coloured gels to add atmosphere to a portrait. Often photograaphers will find they can't get the colours to show up effectively as they 'wash out' this happens primarily when the power of the lights aren't balanced correctly. Essentially when one light is too powerful it washes out the colour from another light, alternatively the coloured light source may be too powerful agaist the other lights and wash itself out (I hope you understand that - if not leave me a comment and I'll get back to you). #portraitphotography #photooftheday #nickgregan #portraitgroup contact @thecameraclubuk for more info
