Artistic Male Portraiture – Member’s Choice Photoshoot

We’ll be exploring how to use coloured lighting and subject halos to add depth, atmosphere, and that extra bit of visual spark to your images.

Whether you’re shooting in studio or building your skills from home, this is a great chance to see how small lighting adjustments can create bold, expressive results – all demonstrated live, step by step.

  1. Thank you for this session, Karl. I’m a new student at Visual Education and your work is inspiring. I’m eager to try the techniques that you’ve explored during this show. At the beginning of the show you ask for specific requests for future shows: please consider a deconstruction/reproduction of the work of Vincent Peters. In particular, his iconic image of Charlize Theron (2008). (link below) The image seems to me to reference the work of Douglas Kirkland with Marilyn Monroe (1961)

    1. Hi, thank you and I’m glad your enjoying the platform. Also thank you for your questions I will make a note of them but I’m quite disorganised. If you could send the same question through the ‘submit a question’ button near the top of your members home page ‘login home page’ and then they will be added accordingly with the other requests that Emma holds.

  2. Zee this looks more like a simple flash behind the subject. Notice the “halo” is not as bright above his head.

    1. Hi, no this looks like a chromatic abberation post production effect. Where you select the outline of the subject and then create 3 new layers, one in Red, one in Green and one in Blue and then you use these as edges to create a fringing that looks like chromatic abberation.

    1. Hello! I was in Portugal riding enduro motorcycles in March, it was amazing in the hills near the Algarve and our Portuguese guide was excellent.
