By Mike Giovinazzo

Another sold-out event as Wilf Oberthierled conducted a studio workshop on Classic Portrait Lighting and Posing.

Wilf methodically demonstrated the process of posing, lighting and refining. First with harsher dramatic light so people could clearly see the process, then with appropriate diffusers and fill-lights. Afterwards we replicated the looks using window light since not all shots are done in a studio setting.

Wilf had a nice way of directing the model and getting good body positions. He was also very careful about head tilt, getting the right shadow length next to the nose. Shown here is an overall scene of the studio setup, with Wilf at the camera (above photo) as well as a portrait of the model from the same setup (below photo).
