Join professional wedding photographer Carlos Alvarado for a hands-on take on wedding photography at Unique.

The day will begin with a quick overview of basic fundamentals, camera setup, and lenses. Carlos will then explain and demonstrate how lighting affects the image for both indoor and outdoor shots. Students will learn about off-camera flash lighting, soft vs. hard lighting, and how to match natural lighting with ambient. Other lessons include color intensity, temperature, and modifiers.

Once lighting is established, students will learn how to see the shots before actually taking them. Carlos will go over how to connect, communicate, and direct the subject, whether it's the bride and groom, bridal party, or family members and friends. Posing, composition, and creative storytelling are all key.

Afterwards, our bride and groom models will come in to allow students the chance to practice shooting with all of the day's lessons in mind. If there's enough time remaining, Carlos will also share some of his post-processing tips.
