As we enter a new age in photography, we are being confronted with new ideas,
new business plans and massive amounts of new technology.
We sometimes forget that no matter what the media, understanding light and
exposure will always be the one essential component to success in photography.
In Mastering the Light, we’ll explore
lighting in the studio and in the field.
We will build a working studio and through live
demonstration illustrates the strengths of portrait, glamour and modified
glamour lighting forms.
We will discuss facial analysis and how each
lighting form affects your subject. One of the class assignments is to
photograph a head shot of each of the students.
This exercise helps in determining which lighting
would be best for many subjects.
The program will then discuss environmental
lighting and how you can streamline your operation by eliminating variables.
Subjects such as the characteristic curve, histograms, achieving proper exposure
and location mapping will be illustrated and explained. |
