Portrait Lighting on Location
Dive into the nuanced art of location portraiture, exploring how to shape mood, narrative, and authenticity using a full arsenal of lighting tools: continuous lights, strobes, flashes, LEDs, and natural light. Altman will guide you through lighting setups, gear integration, and how to adapt lighting strategies to unpredictable real-world environments.
You’ll get hands-on with professional accessories—stands, gels, modifiers, backdrops, and reflectors—learning how and when to deploy them for maximum visual effect. We’ll also tackle smart, efficient location scouting, lighting adaptation under pressure, and crafting intentional, atmospheric imagery that stands out in a saturated market.
Beyond technique, Altman will share her insider approach to building genuine rapport with subjects—from celebrities to environmental portraits—so you can create emotionally resonant, editorial-ready imagery in any setting.
If you’re looking to push past the expected, elevate your portrait work, and light with deliberate artistic and editorial purpose, this workshop is your next step.
