Taking portraits with minimum equipment with Chris Drury.

Thanks to Letty for this weeks update..

Chris had brought along a range of backdrops and reflectors. We all took turns “being guinea pig” and posing for each other in small groups. Chris was on hand to help with hints and tips for the best lighting angles for reflectors and flashes.

It was a fun evening with a lot of laughter.

The biggest difficulty seemed to be learning how the complicated flash guns worked!

I found it particularly interesting to discover that gold reflectors don’t flatter older skin and should only be used for young people whereas silver and white reflectors are suitable for all.
