Nicky Quamina-Woo has a career as both a commercial and documentary photographer. In this class, she will touch on the basics of portraiture lighting, marketing your work, and tailoring your portfolio to fit the client. She reviews the portfolio of three students for the class to learn from, and shows examples of successful images, investigating why each works (or doesn’t) from a lighting perspective.

This video is part of The Essentials, a series of online classes presented by The Everyday Projects and Black Women Photographers.
