Lighting Skills for Photography - Studio 110 in Mathews - 10am - 2 Hours
Great photography requires great light; it defines form and texture, sets mood and can make or break the image.
This 2 hour practical hands-on course is being taught by professional photographer Scott Kinser. It will focus on portrait photography in a studio environment, using camera mounted flashes and studio flash.
You'll learn to understand the direction, quality and colour of light on a subject and surrounds, and how this affects a portrait.
We値l approach all the key topics slowly and thoroughly so that you have time to build a terrific understanding of how lighting affects your photos. Most of what you learn can then be applied outside the studio environment in your everyday photography.
