Shadow, Emotion, Mood, Storytelling; all of these are foundational elements of a dramatic portrait. For photographers aching to improve their grasp on the tools of dramatic portraiture, knowing where, and how to start, can puzzle even the most sophisticated of artists. We’ve partnered with Chris Knight, one of the best in the portraiture industry, to provide you with the highest quality educational experience possible. In this new tutorial, Chris takes you step-by-step in this all-inclusive walkthrough of his advanced portrait workflow. The story-telling centrality of his method lies in the understanding that crafting light should help to fulfill the narrative, not the other way around.
Approaching the concept of portraiture can be both a daunting and intimidating task. Chris Knight provides a total dissection of the tools and techniques of dramatic lighting to give you a creative foundation and expanded understanding of the key elements of a dramatic portrait. Chris begins by unpacking the core concepts, which grow with increasing complexity. As a teaching professional, his ability to compound the fundamentals provides you with a dynamic, unique, and effective approach to portraiture.
This project comes with the working files for retouching. You can now learn to create the dramatic images in production, and have all of the tools and workflow methods that Chris uses in post-production. Follow along with Chris as he takes you through RAW image processing and all the way to final output in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.
