Skillshare teacher Sean Dalton

Great photography doesn’t require dramatic studio sets, expensive lighting, or fancy cameras. You can create beautiful, captivating images at home with everyday objects! In this workshop, you’ll join two professional photographers for a scrappy, insider look at what makes portraits and still-lifes come alive. You’ll use household items to manipulate light and shadow, learn how to style an at-home scene, and gather tips and tricks for editing your images to achieve a variety of effects. So grab your camera and get ready to create some dramatic, beautiful images at home! All levels welcome.
