Figuratively Speaking – Flour and Movement with Mieka Muse

Starts: 11:00 am Ends: 3:00 pm

Location: Legend Studio, 95-97 Heyington Ave, Thomastown VIC 3074, Australia

Description:

Workshop: Figuratively Speaking – Flour and Movement with Mieka Muse
Presenters: Brett Dorron
When: Sunday 30th September 2018, 11.00am – 3.00pm (4 hours)
Where: Legend Studio Melbourne, 1/95 Heyington Av Thomastown 3074
Fitness: No special requirements.
Price: $180.00 per person.
What to bring: Camera, standard to telephoto lenses, batteries, memory cards, tripod and yourself.
Food and beverage: Tea and coffee provided.
In this four hour workshop at Legend Studio in Thomastown, we will start out shooting movement with cloth and materials in available light. This will allow us to experiment with shutter speeds and blur. It’s a really great way to emphasise the feminine and I’m hoping we get a good share of female photographers at this Post Grand Final gathering. After a coffee and snack, we’ll move into Studio 2 where we are going to make a really huge mess. Yes, here we will be shooting with flour and more movement. Freezing the action. I really believe everyone, especially our model Mieka Muse, is going to have a whole lot of fun with this. Mieka will be perfect for this and I am really looking forward to shooting with her and seeing the images that result.

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.
Paramount lighting.
Flat light.
Soft light.
Harsh light.
Diffuse light
Directional light
Broad lighting.
Short lighting.
Rim light.
Hair lighting.
3 point lighting.
Reflectors, flags and cutters
