Class Description

Description

Creating a distinctive personal lighting style is essential for producing compelling and visually dynamic photographic images. This workshop builds on the foundation of Introduction to Studio Lighting and guides participants in developing a unique lighting design approach using advanced techniques and professional equipment. You will deepen your understanding of how to manipulate and control light quality to establish drama, mood, and emotional impact in your photographs.

Each class session begins with an instructional lecture followed by practical hands-on exercises with lighting equipment. Demonstrations of multiple-light configurations will showcase the effective use of portable flash units (speedlights), tungsten and hot lights, and specialized Kino Flo lighting systems. As you progress through the workshop, you will begin establishing your own artistic lighting approach by learning to enhance the mood and atmosphere within your frames, separate visual depth and planes, emphasize character and surface details, and direct viewer attention for stronger visual composition. Working with live models and still life arrangements, you will construct your own lighting setups using the newly acquired techniques and equipment covered during instruction. On the final session, participants will showcase their finished work in a group presentation and constructive critique session.

Students are encouraged to bring a DSLR camera that has either a hot shoe mount or sync connection capability.

Prerequisite: Successful completion of Introduction to Studio Lighting or equivalent hands-on experience with instructor approval.

This class: 5.0 out of 5 from 1 review

  • Intermediate Studio Lighting

    The classes were both incredible informative and fun. Great chemistry. And since there were people from all levels of experience, the instructor did a great job of explaining things to the less experienced while making it still relevant to those of us who had more experience. All in all a great experience, and I signed up for another class immediately.
