These days, everybody takes pictures of people, regardless of what equipment is used or the level of the photographer. In this program, you’ll see how to take better pictures of people, whether these are formal portraits, family and kids, group shots, or informal pictures of people. The discussions will cover some camera controls, artificial lighting, posing individuals and groups, getting the right expressions, working with various light conditions (e.g., mid-day sun), positioning the subject based on the light, working in low light, and understanding white balance.
The program will be educational and entertaining. It’s structured for anyone who takes pictures, whether with a phone camera, a point and shoot, or a full-featured DSLR or mirrorless.
