LIGHTING
Learn to photograph with intention
920
9213140
Four days. Different approaches. One focus: Light.
Working with light means more than knowing how to turn on your equipment. Through demonstrations and hands-on practice, you’ll learn to set up, control, modify, and combine studio lights, flash, continuous light, and natural light, both in the studio and on location.
November. Saturday 7, Sunday 8 & Saturday 14, Sunday 15
Learn to control light, not just your camera
Knowing how to use lighting equipment is only the beginning. Learning to recognize, control, and shape light allows you to make deliberate decisions about how a photograph will look.
Throughout this hands-on workshop, you’ll work with different light sources, equipment, subjects, and environments, learning how to adapt your approach rather than depend on a single setup or formula.
