Portrait Photography: Create Compelling Photos With Low-Budget Lighting and Adobe Lightroom

Ever felt like your portraiture would be more amazing if only you could control light? Well... with this class, you just might!

Hi, my name is Chris Dennis Rosenberg, a photographer based in Kampala, Uganda. My creative practice explores the idea of identity as well as the complexity of a minoritized existence.

During our time together, you will follow me behind the scenes as I plan my portraits in the pre-production stage and then follow along as I make the portraits in the production stage. Using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic, I will take you step-by-step through my post-production process and show you how I elevate my portraits with minimal adjustments.

WHAT WE WILL EXPLORE:

Tools and Techniques: Exploring equipment and techniques.
Light and Portraiture: Understanding light and portrait photography.
Ideas and Pre-production: Idea and concept development.
Ideas and Production: Making portraits.
Ideas and Post-production: Editing in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic.
Publishing and Resources: Exploring resources and platforms to share your work.
Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or professional, this class is perfect for you as long as you have a basic understanding and interest in photography. Our goal for this class is to feel empowered to utilize the resources we currently have, you shouldn't stop making photographs because you are missing lighting equipment, get creative and use the light around you to create at least two new portraits.
