LIGHTING: STUDIO and LOCATION
One-week Workshop
January 22 to 26, 2008

This workshop will introduce students to the fundamentals of studio lighting. Whether for portrait or still life, in the studio or on location, students will learn how to manipulate light and mood to create a desired effect. Students will examine a range of techniques and their effect - soft and warm or bold and graphic. In addition to experimenting with umbrellas, soft boxes, and grids, students will become familiar with such light control devices as Fresnel spots, beauty dishes including the Mola, snoots, and 3D reflectors. Advanced techniques will include dragging the shutter, mixing tungsten and strobes, effective camera shaking, and color manipulation with film, gels, and filters.
