Description
Description: Learn to make flattering, culturally respectful portraits on the road using natural light and minimal accessories. We cover rapport building, simple consent gestures, and bridging language gaps with body language. You’ll learn reflector improvisation using walls, ground, and found surfaces. Exposure modules teach skin‑tone accuracy, highlight protection, and dynamic range control. Composition lessons include environmental context, layering, and negative space to tell a human story. We show quick micro‑posing that looks natural, not staged. You will practice backlight management, edge lights, and shade transitions for consistent color. A small‑bag kit (foldable reflector, micro‑diffuser, prime lens or phone attachment) keeps you nimble. Editing covers color casts, subtle skin work, and maintaining authenticity without plastic skin. Leave with portraits that honor people and place equally.
