We will work on a reference image and build it together, step by step, walking through my process and get a finished product, adjusting it in real time. 

- Learn the number one factor that goes into creating a dramatic black and white portrait which has nothing to do with your camera gear, editing or model choice.

- Discover my three core concepts I use throughout all my portraits which help me make a repeatable process for dramatic B&W images. 

- See how a single image gets translated into camera settings, light settings, light placement, background placement, modifier selection and lens choice. 

- Get a repeatable process you can use to recreate your own portraits which ultimately improve your own competency and professional delivery of your work. 

- Open Q&A throughout to ensure full understanding of the process.

**Please bring something to take notes with for this class.**
