In this class, Sony Artisan of Imagery Paul Gero will discuss the camera settings, lighting, lens selections, and strategies to help make better portrait photographs of family and friends. He will also go into lighting considerations and ways to use simple tools such as reflectors and diffusers to tame natural light and then when to use supplemental light (whether speed lights or more powerful lights) and how to modify them.

The goal of the class presentation is to show how you can use modest tools and combined with great cameras and lenses make powerful portraits that are evocative and repeatable.

Owners of all brands of cameras are welcome. Sony will be on hand to offer free loaner lenses and cameras so that you can experience the latest in mirrorless technology and see for yourself how it helps you capture memorable images.
