Shadow, Emotion, Mood, Storytelling; all of these are foundational elements of dramatic portrait photography. For photographers aching to improve their grasp on the tools of dramatic portraiture, knowing where, and how to start, can puzzle even the most sophisticated of artists.
We created this tutorial to give photographers of all levels access to Chris' wealth of knowledge of the classical painters like Rembrandt and have translated this painterly approach into a series of chapters and sections that unlock all of the steps and processes you need to hone your lighting and craft your shadows.
PRO EDU partnered with Chris Knight, one of the best in the portraiture industry, to provide you with the highest quality educational experience possible. Chris shares his approach to using light, shadow, and mood to tell the stories of his subjects. This portrait photography tutorial focuses on the methods to understand and craft light, and is perfect for photographers looking to take their portrait work to new levels.
We've dedicated several hours of this tutorial to cover all of the gear and lighting that Chris uses on a day to day basis to create his work. You will learn all of the gear and modifiers he uses to craft light and shadow around his scene.
You will learn to use the classical lighting examples derived from the masters to re-create lighting with a painterly feel. Go in-depth with Chris as he re-creates a classic painting with modern day figures.
In this tutorial you will see complete photo shoots from beginning to end that cover the concept, the styling, the wardrobe choices, the lighting design, the posing, and everything afterwards to bring the images to life.
In this tutorial Chris shows his entire workflow for a select amount of images in each session giving you all of his small decisions that add up to his signature look. Download the RAW files in your downloads folder and follow along in Photoshop.
Few things move viewers like the emotion and mood of a well-executed dramatic portrait. Chris takes you step-by-step in this all-inclusive walkthrough of his advanced portrait light workflow. The story-telling centrality of his method lies in the understanding that crafting light should help to fulfill the narrative, not the other way around.
