Creative Studio Portrait Lighting Workshop - 25 Nov 2018

Starts: 12:00 pm Ends: 4:00 pm

Location: Legend Studio, 1/95 Heyington Ave, Thomastown VIC 3074, Australia

Description:

I love to shoot with available or natural light, as much as anyone, but I also love the total control I have over lighting and environments in the studio. This love of studio did't just happen, though. It came through knowledge, practice and understanding. Learning, seeing the results and getting comfortable in the studio. I was lucky that I had a great teacher and mentor who shared his great knowledge and understanding with me, and I have been forever grateful. In this workshop, I wish to come full circle and share some of my knowledge and love of studio portrait lighting with you. I want you to leave with newfound confidence and understanding of what is possible for you.

If you take a moment to answer these following questions, you'll know for yourself whether this workshop is for you or not: Are you completely comfortable, confident and at home in a studio? Are you always happy with your results? Are you sometimes disappointed and you are not sure why? This workshop will endeavour to point you in the right direction. Give you a great starting point of understanding. All the following lighting styles, patterns and terminology will be discussed and demonstrated, in real life studio environments, with a real life model. You'll get to shoot many of the styles yourself with your own camera and you will get to see all the others come up on the big screen when I'm shooting tethered. We'll start off very simple, and explore what each individual light or lighting style can achieve on its own. What are the strengths and what are the shortcomings of each light? How can we modify or improve them? We'll then build the complexity, the knowledge and understanding as we progress throughout the workshop.

Topics and demonstrations:

Key light.
Fill lighting.
Backlighting.
Split lighting.
Loop lighting.
Rembrandt lighting.
Butterfly lighting.
Beauty dishes.

Available Light Photowalk – Melbourne CBD – 17 Feb 2019

Starts: 10:00 am Ends: 12:00 pm

Description:

Join me on this photowalk through the streets, arcades and back alleys of the beautiful historic Melbourne CBD. The focus will be light. Available and ambient light, especially in regard to posing and photographing portraits and people.

Photo (Greek phōs, phōt) = Light. The Holy Grail of photography. What is good light? Where does it come from? What do you look for and how do you see it? What affects it, or how is it influenced? We’ll look at the effects of natural and man-made structures on light. Directional verses diffuse. Harsh verses soft.

There will be plenty of opportunity for pics along the way. Portrait and otherwise. Remember to bring your cameras and cards or film. Tripod is optional. A volunteer model or two are most welcome but not necessary. We’ll take turns anyway. It’s important to see the effects of a given light on various facial structures and skin types.

All levels welcome.
