Portraiture photography is fantastic way of sharpening both your camera and social skills, and allows you to experiment with both studio flash as well as natural light. It can however seem like a dark art, how do you light your subject, get the best poses out of them and what kit should you use?

This month we aim to answer all of these questions and more! We teamed up a reader of PhotoPlus: The Canon Magazine, Carole Stevens, for a masterclass in portraiture with portrait pro Rebecca Faith at her local park in the beautifully picturesque city of Bath, England.
