Photographing with LED

Full nude creative photoshoot

This start to finish photoshoot features experienced art nude model Ali. The course takes place in a rented LED Studio that offers a variety of different backgrounds and setups.

We brought along a variety of outfits, and accessories to shoot with, including additional colour LED panels, smoke, an LED Whip and more.

COURSE PREVIEW

Create stunning LED portraits

This start-to-finish photoshoot runs for over 2 hours, and brings you along to fully experience behind the scenes of a full art portrait session.

Ali is a very experienced  model, and is able to hit her poses quickly. Together we were able to create a huge range of images in a relatively short amount of time.

The studio we are shooting in had a number of different LED light setups already in place. We made great use of these, but mixed things up using them as both backlight and key light, we also added our own light and haze to some shots for unique results.

We also mixed in different accessories such as outfits, sunglasses and even an LED rope to introduce cool reflections, movement and colour into the images.

In this course you will learn:

- How to communicate with your model to ensure a comfortable and professional shoot

- How to use available props and lighting to create dramatic images

- How to vary the poses to create alluring and expressive artistic portraits

- How to adjust your distance, angles and ratios to work with continuous LED lights

- How to use both hard and soft light to create expressive artistic photos.

STUDENT FEEDBACK:

"The Hotel Photoshoot was awesome!  The “fly on the wall” format was very educational to see how you interacted with the model.  I also appreciated how interactive you are with the model-she had some great input on the creative aspects of the shoot.  This is a great course for photographers, as well as  models who want to improve their posing."

"The hotel photoshoot was revealing for me. The model itself is marvelous. What I also liked in this shoot is that Matt is going more in depth regarding lighting techniques. Perfectly done. Looking forward to other shoots with the same education level."

Yannick from Belgium

"This is a very well set out course. I like the rapport between you and the model as it shows how a shoot can be relaxed and professional. The different options shown with regard to focal length and aperture was also very helpful. Good job."
