Tracks: Wedding

Speaker(s): Jared Platt
Portrait and wedding photographers everywhere are always searching for soft beautiful light.  They find it in "north light" studios, in the open shade of a porch, under a canopy of trees or in the bounced light of a building on the shady side of a city street.  When they can’t find the perfectly lit location, they wait for the right time of day when the sun is setting and diffused by dust in the atmosphere or they hope for soft clouds to soften the hard, direct light of the sun.  Some photographers find it easier to create their own light in a studio with green screens, photo-realistic backdrops and full-scale sets with artificial lighting. But at a wedding you often need to make a portrait outside in a specific location, facing the wrong direction, at the worst time of day.   Can you overcome the challenge of direct sunlight?  Can you work in any lighting condition?   
 
Join Jared Platt at WPPI for a wedding portrait Photo Walk and learn how to take control of the sun with simple effective flash techniques that will have you working with the Sun, rather than against it.  Jared will show you how to get beautiful light in the harshest lighting conditions so you can make beautifully lit portraits on-demand, anywhere, anytime.
