Class Description

Description

Curious about how professional photographers create beautifully lit portraits? Join us for this 2-hour in-person seminar where Patricia Burmicky, portrait photographer and founder of PhotoUno Photography School, will demonstrate how to light and photograph a subject using off-camera flash and light modifiers.

This is a demo-based class – students will observe each step of the lighting and shooting process in real time. You'll see exactly how Patricia sets up her lights, directs the model, and captures the final portrait. Learn how to translate lighting theory into powerful visual results without the pressure of hands-on practice.

What You'll Learn:

  • Live demonstration of portrait lighting using flash
  • How to control light direction, intensity, and quality
  • Use of light modifiers including softboxes, gels, and reflectors (featuring Rogue products)
  • Step-by-step walkthroughs of lighting setups and the resulting images
  • Patricia’s workflow for creating polished, professional portraits

What to Expect:

  • Real-time Q&A throughout the session
  • Ideal for photographers who want to learn by watching and asking questions
  • Great for building confidence before trying lighting techniques on your own

Who This Seminar is For:

  • Beginner and intermediate photographers
  • Portrait photographers interested in learning flash techniques
  • Visual learners who benefit from live demos before hands-on application
