In this B&H Event Space video, sponsored by Canon, commercial photographer Pete Wright takes you full circle from shoot to output, demonstrating how to create visually stunning portraits. Emphasizing the right tools for all aspects of the process, he discusses the various types of light sources—from speedlights to strobes to continuous light—and lighting accessories such as barndoors, snoots, fresnels, softboxes, and umbrellas. Next, Wright offers some tips on posing techniques, before delving into topics such as monitor calibration, post processing, and image retouching, to assure the best possible results. To complete the circle, Wright simplifies the printing process by walking you through the necessary steps to output your images using Canon Print Studio Pro software and an ImagePROGRAF printer. As Wright explains it, printing your own images leads you back to becoming a better photographer, by encouraging you to make improvements in your capture to get a better print. After watching, you’ll have a clearer picture of gear options and best practices for each stage of the capture, processing and print production process, to put into practice in your own work.
