PHOTOGRAPHY
Learn how I use minimal kit to create classic / timeless portraits and without the need for expensive studio equipment or a studio. Learn everything I know and do to create my classic seated, standing and close-up shallow depth of field portraits.
LIGHTING
Follow step by step how I use light to create exactly the look I’m after in a way that’s simple, repeatable and so that you can adapt to any given location.
No Softbox? No problem. I show how to create the same portraits with an inexpensive umbrella.
RETOUCHING
Learn every step of my retouching workflow in Adobe Lightroom / Camera RAW and Adobe Photoshop.
From capture to the final print ready image I take you through every step covering not just the
How? but also the Why?
"Timeless is like you and me are both together one-to-one on a photo shoot going through everything from start to finish: setting up, lighting, styling, posing and shooting, and then next to each other as we work through the retouching."
