Workshop Series | Laura Mansur: How to Create Headshots in a Small Area

203 Briar Oaks Cove

Houston, TX 77056

Let's create a headshot in a small space! Using the entrance foyer of her house, Laura will begin with one light and then add two more lights for more dimension. Learn how to get white, black, and gray backgrounds on the same Denny's folding backdrop by using a background light. Discover the difference of using an umbrella verses a soft box, how the proximity of the modifier to the model affects the image, and how to use Portrait Professional to get a polished look. And finally, see how Laura fits all her gear in a small red wagon! This is a hands-on workshop, so bring your camera and get ready to practice your new skills!

You’ll learn:

  • Exposure on face for a professional headshot

  • Butterfly, loop, & high key lighting

  • Retouching with Portrait Professional
