Join us for our fall retreat in Wendover Utah!

Adaptive Lighting Techniques on the Salt Flats

Bry Cox M.Photog, CPP

What you will learn:

"As artists, we usually try to align the stars in our favor by photographing at golden light for instance, or photographing families in shady areas so we don't get squinty eyes or harsh light on faces.  But true creativity comes through problem solving and pushing ourselves beyond our current comfort zone."

"The Utah Salt Flats is a harsh and fast changing environment.  There's no shade or dark backgrounds for easy portraits, and desert winds and storms can come through quickly.  Just relying on natural light there will mean dark, muddy faces, and washed out skies and backgrounds - no matter how much you digitally push your image later."

"Instead get great skin tones at any time of day (daytime, afternoon, sunset, twilight), while also getting fantastic and emotionally vivid backgrounds and skies.  Learn to do this quickly and efficiently so that you can shoot manually for complete control and consistent results, while also being completely engaged with your client for wonderful expressions."

"Knowing how to master those harsh environments and really nail your images there will result in great new portfolio samples, while helping your other portrait work as well."
