Introduction to Lighting
Where to begin…
If you are new to photography in studios this class will get you up to speed in no time.
Working with a model this class covers the camera basics, how the lighting equipment works, what modifiers do what – and then its straight into portrait photography to begin!
The one to one 6 hour session will cover lighting styles from high key/low key portraiture to fashion lighting explaining along the way tips and tricks to help you develop your own ideas.
We provide a simple no nonsense approach that allows beginners to cut through the technical jargon and get straight into creating superb images.
