Lighting for Posing, Posing for Lighting

Reims

Ever nail the perfect pose, only to find the lighting doesn’t do it justice? Dave Montizambert, international lighting master, believes posing and lighting should go hand in hand—and in this game-changing masterclass, he shows you exactly how to do it.

Dave demonstrates how to pose both women and men with an emphasis on posing to the light and lighting to the pose, whether in the studio or using available light. Through his clear, practical approach, you’ll gain the confidence to tackle even the most challenging scenarios.

You’ll learn:
• A deeper understanding of posing and how it interacts with lighting
• Techniques to emphasize curves and muscle—shaping the human form to its best
• Slimming effects through light and pose
• Creating optimal lighting by controlling quality, quantity, and direction
• How to handle tricky scenarios, like white-on-white setups with full separation from the background
• Pre-planning lighting and posing during location scouting
• Posing with only available light
• To become a confident, fearless photographer

Packed with Dave’s patented lighting diagrams, image buildup slides, and step-by-step demonstrations, this masterclass equips you to move beyond cookie-cutter recipes and think creatively for yourself. Say goodbye to fear and hello to mastery of both light and pose!
