Portraits Unplugged is all about natural light, nothing technical or mechanical with
reflectors and diffusers as our only tools. Bobbi teaches you how to find and work
with natural light to make flattering and dynamic portraits of any subject. The
beauty of available light is its ability to describe your subject from powerful and
strong to soft and creamy. We work on capturing the essence of the people by the
use of posing, expressions, tonality, composition, color, backgrounds and props.
Bobbi shows you how to work with all kinds of light: hard, soft, bounced, window,
“garage door”, reflected, diffused, etc.
