Lawrence — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 13:27:26 +0000

Greetings,

Thank you everyone who could make it out! We had local photographers from Orange County to super cool ones from far away – San Francisco, San Jose, San Antonio(Texas).

Due to overwhelming interest, the beginner’s workshop sold out in a few hours. Intermediate and advanced ones coming in the near future. They will be much smaller than this one because of the technical aspects of learning creative lighting.

Beginners – 3 hours

Understand what equipment to use
Get a feel of the difference between studio strobes and mobile lighting kits
Locate sources of ambient light and how to angle / compensate for them

Goal: Student will be able to setup a 2-3 point lighting scenario and properly calibrate for subjects

Intermediate – 5 hours

Learn how to frame an image effectively
Use of harsh / creative shadows
Understand how to reflect or deflect light
Play with ring lights, barn doors, honeycombs, grids, etc.

Goal: Student will be able to use creative lighting setups and calibrate for virtually any scenario in a matter of a few minutes

Advanced – 5 hours

Must have strong grasp of lighting
Use of snoots for pin-point lighting
Advanced level post production
Learn how to fashionably pose subjects

Goal: Student will be able to book badass gigs based on flippin’ sweet lighting setups
