Tools for Portrait Photographers
Focused tools for portrait photographers: light modifiers, colour analysis, posing card, session prep, model release, shot list and more.
Building light for portraits
Light is the foundation of portrait photography. The light modifiers guide explains each accessory in practical terms: when to use a softbox, beauty dish, umbrella or snoot, and what the light will look like. The flash guide number calculator works out the correct flash power at any distance.
Depth of field and focal length for portraits
The depth of field calculator shows exactly how out-of-focus the background will be for your combination of focal length, aperture and subject distance. The focal length comparison tool and focal length simulator help you choose the right focal length for the right perspective.
Colour analysis and styling
The colour analysis tool determines your model's seasonal colour type and the shades that suit them best, great for outfit advice before or during the shoot.
Working with people
The session prep tool helps you brief your model on what to bring and what to expect. The expectations guide covers everything your client wants to know. The pose card gives you sixteen proven poses to use as a starting point.
Planning and legal
Organise your shoot with the shot list maker, shoot checklist and call sheet maker. The model release generator produces a legally correct release form, free to download as PDF. The artist statement generator helps you present your work professionally.
