Class Description

Description

In this eight-session continuation class of Introduction to Studio Lighting, students will create their own sense of lighting design using advanced lighting techniques and specialized equipment. Students will progress towards fully understanding how to modify and control the quality of the light to create drama and mood in their imagery. 


After the first introductory session, participants will spend the next six sessions producing imagery on portraiture, fashion, and still life. (At least three sessions will involve models with one of these sessions taking place on a Saturday around twilight, on-location). Class sessions will start with a lecture followed by hands-on exercises using the lighting equipment. Multiple-light setup demonstrations will cover the effective use of various lighting equipment including speed-lights (portable flash), tungsten/hot lights and kino flo lighting. Participants will begin to develop their own style of lighting by learning to enhance mood and atmosphere, separate visual planes, reveal character and texture, and direct attention to provide more visual focus. Using models and still life, students will create their own light scenarios using their newly learned techniques and the equipment demonstrated in class.  


This class will culminate in a final group critique session where students will present their best work reflecting portraiture, fashion and still life. 


This course is a continuation of LACP’s signature “Introduction to Studio Lighting” workshop. It is an intermediate level class and therefore prior knowledge of lighting and equipment is required.  Students are encouraged to bring a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) or Mirrorless camera equipped with a hot shoe or sync connection.
