PELATIHAN PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY PERKENALKAN TEKNIK PENCAHAYAAN DAN KOMPOSISI VISUAL KEPADA SISWA SMA CITRA BERKAT TANGERANG, 6 APRIL 2026 // PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY TRAINING INTRODUCES LIGHTING TECHNIQUES AND VISUAL COMPOSITION TO SMA CITRA BERKAT STUDENTS TANGERANG, APRIL 6, 2026
Program Studi Desain Komunikasi Visual (DKV) Universitas Bunda Mulia (UBM) Kampus Serpong menyelenggarakan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat bertajuk “Pelatihan Portrait Photography Bersama Siswa-Siswi SMA Citra Berkat Citra Raya.” Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di Ruang M1, Lantai 12 UBM Tower, Universitas Bunda Mulia Kampus Serpong.
Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan dasar-dasar fotografi portrait kepada siswa, khususnya dalam penggunaan kamera, pengelolaan pencahayaan buatan (artificial lighting), komposisi visual, serta teknik pengarahan pose.
Materi disampaikan oleh dosen Program Studi DKV dengan dukungan mahasiswa sebagai fasilitator melalui pendekatan pembelajaran partisipatif yang mengombinasikan teori, demonstrasi, dan praktik langsung.
“Kegiatan ini dirancang agar peserta tidak hanya memahami konsep, tetapi juga dapat langsung mencoba dan mengalami proses fotografi secara aplikatif,” ujar Inovensius Hugo Bima Wicaksana, S.Ds., M.Sn., selaku dosen pelaksana.
Dalam sesi praktik, peserta diberi kesempatan untuk mencoba pengoperasian kamera serta pengaturan pencahayaan sederhana dalam simulasi fotografi portrait. Pendampingan dilakukan secara langsung untuk membantu peserta memahami teknik dasar secara bertahap.
Sebagai hasil dari kegiatan ini, setiap peserta juga memperoleh dokumentasi foto portrait yang telah dihasilkan selama sesi praktik. Foto-foto tersebut dapat diunduh oleh peserta sebagai bentuk dokumentasi sekaligus kenang-kenangan dari pengalaman belajar yang telah mereka ikuti.
Seorang peserta kegiatan menyampaikan, “Kami jadi lebih paham bagaimana pencahayaan mempengaruhi hasil foto dan bagaimana mengatur pose agar terlihat lebih menarik.”
Kegiatan ini juga terintegrasi dengan pembelajaran mata kuliah Media Rekam (DKF07), sehingga tidak hanya memberikan manfaat bagi peserta eksternal, tetapi juga menjadi sarana pembelajaran kontekstual bagi mahasiswa.
Melalui kegiatan ini, Universitas Bunda Mulia berharap dapat meningkatkan literasi visual serta minat siswa terhadap bidang fotografi dan industri kreatif.
The Visual Communication Design (VCD) Study Program of Universitas Bunda Mulia (UBM), Serpong Campus, organized a community service activity titled “Portrait Photography Training with Students of SMA Citra Berkat Citra Raya.” The event was held at Room M1, 12th Floor, UBM Tower, Universitas Bunda Mulia Serpong Campus.
This activity aimed to introduce the fundamentals of portrait photography to students, particularly in camera operation, artificial lighting management, visual composition, and posing techniques.
The materials were delivered by VCD lecturers with the support of students as facilitators through a participatory learning approach that combined theory, demonstrations, and hands-on practice.
“This activity is designed not only to provide conceptual understanding, but also to allow participants to directly experience the photographic process in an applied manner,” said Inovensius Hugo Bima Wicaksana, S.Ds., M.Sn., the lecturer in charge.
During the practical session, participants were given the opportunity to operate cameras and arrange simple lighting setups in a simulated portrait photography environment. Direct guidance was provided to help participants gradually understand the basic techniques.
As an outcome of the activity, each participant received portrait photo documentation produced during the practice session. These photos could be downloaded as both documentation and a keepsake of their learning experience.
One participant shared, “We gained a better understanding of how lighting affects photo results and how to arrange poses to make them more appealing.”
This activity was also integrated with the “Media Rekam” (Recording Media) course (DKF07), providing added value not only for external participants but also as a contextual learning experience for university students.
Through this initiative, Universitas Bunda Mulia hopes to enhance visual literacy and encourage students’ interest in photography and the creative industry.
