Photography Workshop with Live Models

Intermediate Level

Assuming it's diigital, your camera has three main controls:

• shutter-speed
• ISO
• aperture

We expect you to have a working knowledge of how those control affect an image, and how to adjust them on your camera.

Workshop Overview

The interaction between a model, a photographer and lighting becomes the story contained in a photograph. As photographers, lights are our paintbrushes. We choose their position, direction and character. In this workshop, you’ll come away with experience in several different lighting techniques and effects, with enough hands-on experience to begin to incorporate them in your own creative expression.

Workshop Details

This workshop will feature 4 eager and patient(!) models in 3 shooting spaces to join us to help you create your images.

We're providing lights (some constant lights and some flashes). You need to bring a camera (the brand doesn't matter, but it should have a standard hot-shoe to put a flash trigger on, and have manual controls), your own memory card, and at least one freshly charged battery.

Workshop Format

We'll start with a short educational session together, and then break out into rotating groups in the studio.
Black Rain Studios is our generous host for this event -- the studio has separate spaces that we'll be using to create different looks. Here's the current operating plan:

• 1 high-key area
• 1 low-key area
• 1 environmental, mixed lighting setup.

There is limited room for this workshop -- only 12 photographers (so book your spot quickly!), and you will be guided by photographers with decades of combined experience.
