Also offered over 2 Weekends, (Studio Lighting Weekend 1 & 2)
PARTICIPANTS: 6
Fee: £695
“In Photography there are no secrets, there are only principles that we don’t know or
haven't mastered yet.”
As photographers, from the moment we embarked on this
great adventure, whether consciously or not, we all became
light explorers and started our journey into the light.
Although the camera we use and
how we use it is of paramount importance, our ultimate tool in photography is light and
our ultimate goal as photographers is to master its science & magic. Composition, an interesting subject, a great pose
and an appropriate background, all contribute
immensely to making good pictures, but light will ultimately shout louder
then anything else.
The way our subjects are lit will make or break any photograph
we try to capture on any type of media we use.
This
course is designed as a step by step training program for you to master not only the language of light and its behavior,
but to learn to see it,
move it, bend it and most importantly control it, no matter where,
when or what you are creating images of.
Totally geared towards Studio Lighting, you will discover how to easily model your Subjects with light and consistently
make
professional looking pictures for commercial or personal use.
