Studio Lighting and Portrait Photography


Studio Lighting and Portrait Photography

Carlos Prieto


I enjoy Carlos class very much. I appreciate Carlos even more than I enjoy his class.


This instructor is clear in his instruction and he diligently brings different equipment to class for us to try out each lesson. I have learnt a lot from him.


My classmates are really fun. There is one gentleman with paparazzi lens. He tells me he shoots sports. There are at least three ladies who are already running their own photography business. And there is a really nice teacher, Ms Gail, who uses the same camera as me. We compare pictures and help each other out on our camera settings.


I am not that great at portrait photography. A few down sides: (1) This is my VERY first in studio lighting and photography; (2) I have not done anything beyond children photography!; and (3) I am a short Asian. I am taking pictures of the subjects either at eye level - thank God so far they've not been very tall either. If any one of them had been taller, I think I would have had great difficulty - I need to pull a chair.


My classes have not ended. I am enjoying this very much. Here are my assignments:







Look out for more updates on what I did in this class.
