Hello LCC members,

Last Wednesday we had a Posing and Lighting learning session. We all had a great time learning from Teri about posing and Sandra demonstrating different capture techniques and camera settings. We covered using flash on camera, umbrellas and other flash modifiers with live feedback from Sandra’s tethered camera.

Thanks Teri, Sandra, Steve and Ken for sharing your knowledge and time to put this session together.

Thank you to our class participants that volunteered to be our models.

Here are a few of the portraits shot by Sandra at the class.
