If you’ve ever wanted to take the next step in your photography and start creating images that truly make an impact, you need to learn how to control light, both in the studio and on location. Knowing how to use studio lighting effectively for portraits, food or product photography is an essential element of every serious photographer’s skillset. For many people however, professional studio lighting and lighting techniques can seem a bit overwhelming, especially if you’ve never used them before. If that sounds familiar, this workshop is for you.
On this 5 hour practical workshop we cover all the basics of lighting to provide the necessary understanding of lighting techniques for you to feel comfortable in hiring a studio on your own, or to shoot on location with studio style lights, with the confidence to create your own professionally lit photographs.
What’s covered
Light Theory - Understanding the “Inverse Square Law”
Directional Lighting - understanding light and shadow
Balancing flash and ambient light
Use of light modifiers
Using “Flags” and “Reflectors”
How to use a Light Meter
Using Gels for creative effect
Using a Grey Card
Classic lighting techniques like “Rembrandt”, “clamshell”, and “butterfly”
Shooting “Tethered” directly to a laptop for instant review
This is a hands on, practical workshop where participants will learn how to set up lights in a working photographic studio. Spaces on the workshop are limited to no more than 4 people and participants will take turns in fulfilling the roles of photographer, model, and lighting assistant.
