CREATIVE LIGHTING TECHNIQUES

A two day workshop in Fairfield, Connecticut

December 1st and 2nd, 2007
9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day


This dynamic studio workshop is designed for photographers who are ready to take the next step in portrait lighting. Saturday and Sunday mornings will be spent demonstrating and presenting a variety of essential and creative portrait lighting techniques such as perfecting the butterfly light, creating drama with grids, using beauty dishes, broad and soft lighting through bouncing, diffusion panels and reflectors, and dragging the shutter. More importantly, we will explore why these techniques are used to help the photographer convey the mood, feeling and essence of their subjects. In the afternoon sessions, each student will have a hands-on opportunity to put this knowledge to use working with live models. The emphasis will be on attention to detail, thereby producing outstanding, powerful photographs.

Participants must be familiar with strobe lighting and basic use of umbrellas, soft boxes and grids. As this will be a digital class, students are encouraged to bring a laptop to edit and process images. Students are required to provide images to the models.

Workshop Fee: $450.00
