target
Objective

Practice using 3 lights to create a dynamic and sporty portrait of a school athlete.

Choose your model and attire for the photoshoot in the studio. They should wear their team jersey and bring their sport’s paraphernalia.
Use the 3-light setup as shown in class to take 30+ photos of different poses. Make sure to encourage and guide your model! Studio photos can be found on the OneDrive link on the homepage.
Edit the photo using the following steps:
  • Retouch (blemishes, shadows, teeth, eyes, shape)
  • Dodge/burn the face
  • Dodge/burn the body
  • Paint a glow around the subject
  • Color grade (find a YouTube tutorial you like for this step)
Photoshop: click on File > Export > Export As and select the JPG format.
All exports should have the long edge equal to 2500px.
Upload your photo into a gallery block on your WordPress.com website.
