About this course
Portrait Photography 101 teaches a practical, on-location system for creating professional portraits, covering smart gear choices (like the 50mm f/1.8), composition essentials (rule of thirds, framing, leading lines, diagonals, “blurry sandwich”), and lighting techniques that work anywhere (open shade, reflectors, natural bounce, matching exposure, direct sun, shooting into darkness). You’ll learn the exposure triangle with easy, repeatable settings, how to direct authentic emotion and movement, and posing frameworks for flattering, confident images. The course finishes with a streamlined Lightroom workflow for organizing, editing, and backing up thousands of photos. Designed for beginners and upgraders alike, it gives you proven tools you can use immediately.
