Photography Tutorials

Jeff Cable shows us that great portraiture isn’t about what equipment you use in during an hour long seminar the professional photographer hosted in New York City. Over the course of the hour long video of the seminar, Cable discusses the elements of what makes a portrait great and how even the non-photographers can take them without investing in thousands of dollars of equipment.

In the beginning, as you adjust to working with macro photography, set your scene up in a spot where you won't have to worry about interruptions. As you get more comfortable working with macro photography, move into other lighting situations and work on keeping the subject lit well, while improving your composition.

Abstract photography can create very impressive photos. However, people tend to perceive abstract images differently than other images. This is because abstract images rely more on form, color, and curves than they do on image detail.

When it comes to studio lighting, there are numerous options and preferences. Portrait photography alone comes with a wide array of lighting techniques and possibilities, but some of them aren’t always an option, especially if you’re working in a small home studio.
