Lighting as a special purpose in each discipline particular in 'Portraiture Photography.' Are you aware 'Ladies' that lighting
is an 'Instant Botox' the light softens 'Fine Lines' and 'Wrinkles'.

Photographers often use 'Reflectors' to enhance lighting. The type
of reflector you may be aware of is 'A Large Silver Disc'. We angle the reflector to catch the light and then reflect and bounce the light onto
the person's face.

'Instant Botok'

I first started my career as a 'Studio Photographer' many years ago for a company called 'Olan Mills' working in the' Studio' and on their 'Mobile Team'. I worked for them on and off for many years, I was a 'Trainer' for the company Olan Mills sent me on a course to do this.

I no longer do any 'Studio Work' my heart is with the 'Media' side of my career. Not including any 'Portraiture' in my own 'Photo' Blog' would have been very sad.

'Up Date' - I did not include 'Lighting' for not everybody will have it ...

If you are just starting out on your career this is an excellent way to gain experience.

'Portraiture Photography' is all about capturing the ' Soul, The Essence Of That Person'.

This only comes with experience, the more people you photograph, the more confident you will become and the more likely you will be able to capture 'That Special Magic'.

Good Luck ...

Due to the doom and gloom of 'The Cost Of Living Crisis'.

I feel that we all need a 'Party',

' No Money Is Required,' just the use of a 'Mobile Phone'.
