This past fall, Adobe held their annual Adobe MAX conference. During the conference, they hosted numerous education Creative Sessions, including one with photographer Chris Orwig. The topic of Orwig's talk was about creating and capturing better portraits. Fortunately for us, the session was recorded and Adobe has recently published Orwig's talk on their YouTube channel. You can see the full hour-long video below.

Capturing authentic and genuine portraits which accurately reflect your subject are very challenging. Orwig's session focused on offering practical steps you can take to improve your portrait photographs, advice on how to utilize better light, tips for connecting more meaningfully with your subjects and having your images reflect this connection and finally, tips for how to make your photos better using Adobe Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic CC.
