No Studio, No Problem: Classic Portraits with Minimal Kit

You don’t need a studio, expensive lighting or a van full of gear to create classic, timeless portraits. You just need to know what you’re doing with what you’ve got.

In this practical session, Glyn Dewis shows exactly how he creates his signature classic portraits using minimal kit in a limited space. From laying out the gear and setting up the light, through to working with a subject in front of the camera, this is a real-world demonstration with no shortcuts and no assumptions about budget or space.

The session covers the kit itself and why less is often more, how to set up and use light to create a clean, timeless look, and the often-overlooked skill of relaxing your subject in front of the camera.

Because the best lighting setup in the world won’t save a portrait if the person in it looks uncomfortable.

No studio required.

Talks will be held at the Edinburgh Central Youth Hostel, Apex House, 9 Haddington Pl, Edinburgh EH7 4A
