It's always best to use the right tool for the job. While the gear for portraiture is similar to other forms of photography, there are still many artistic and technical choices to make that will affect the tools you select. In this course, Chris Orwig—a photographer whose portraits have been featured everywhere from Rolling Stone to The New York Times—shows you how to build the ideal portrait photography kit. He first helps you decide on your approach. Are you a minimalist, a traveler, or an architect? He then reviews the equipment you need to actualize your vision: the right camera, lenses, lights, bags, backdrops, rollers, and more. Using these tips, you can invest in the right gear, right away, and create a kit that matches your photographic style.
