Photographer Robert Silver organized a very interesting workshop dedicated to male portraits. After a 30 min instruction presentation about the difference of capturing portraits of male subjects vs female the class spent the remaining time taking photos of the featured model.
For this workshop I teamed up with makeup artist Wendi Farias and actor/model James Parker.
The reason why I choose FD Photo Studio for the location of my workshop was because of there diverse of options of rentals studios. Each having their own unique creative environment. The one we used was Studio D, the book shelf room.
For the first half of the workshop we used a two light setup (a key light camera right & one fill light camera left) with a thunder gray Savage seamless backdrop. For the last outfit we decided to take advantage of the beautiful rustic bookshelf as a backdrop. In this case we decided to use a three light set up: key light camera right, rim/kicker light camera left rear of the subject and the last light used pointed at the bookshelf.

Stage D is one of the most spacious and most affordable spaces we currently offer. Suitable for both large and small production teams, this stage is on always on a high demand. Lighting conditions are of supreme quality. If working with natural light, towards the sunset the studio gets plenty of great, warm light through large south-west facing frosted windows. There are three strobe lights always available within the stage. Have a look at our calendar for availability, prices and contacts on our WEBSITE.
