Description

What you'll learn in this lighting class:

Join master illuminator Rick Sands for “Breaking the Light Barrier,” a workshop for photographers who would like to improve their understanding of lighting—from conceptualization through execution.

For nearly fifteen years, Sands has created elaborate lighting for the narrative photographs of artist Gregory Crewdson.

Course Outline:

The class will cover varied philosophies of lighting technique, working under a wide range of conditions (day as well as night, interior as well as exterior), and studying separation through use of contrast via intensity and color.
The class will also cover practical aspects like scheduling and budgetary concerns.
Over the course of six days, “Breaking the Light Barrier” will cover contextual light, interior lighting, exterior lighting, and project flow as separate units of study.
Each unit will be comprised of conceptual overview, study of examples, equipment demonstration, training exercises, and experimentation.
Students will be asked to complete four assignments, the last being a comprehensive production exercise taking place over three days.
Additional concepts reviewed will include the motivation of light, the study of ambient light, light plots, the importance of time-of-day, and the set environment and its effect on lighting.
Participants will form teams to produce projects employing the techniques covered by the curriculum.
The main objective of the class is to create and extend a lighting vernacular that allows you to design and execute diverse projects.
Participants will gain comfort and confidence, enabling them to work adeptly throughout the lighting design process.
