Hi All,
I'm a moderately experienced landscape photographer but I'm increasingly getting into taking photos of people (I wouldn't call it portraiture as it's just unposed/candid of friends and family).
I'd like to develop this side of things and I feel learning some basic lighting techniques is an important step in creating compelling portraits.
My questions is what the best way of going about this? Is it worth investing in a cheap off-camera flash and having a play around? Or investing in a decent online tutorial? How did people here learn their craft? Is anyone self-taught?? I don't have the time or money to enrol on an actual course at a college etc.
Many thanks,
Tom
