WORKSHOP
What we do in the shadows…!
Light enables us see but it’s the shadows that add shape and character to a still life subject.
In this introductory workshop we will look at form, volume, texture and how to accentuate this.
We will learn to understand the characteristics of our light sources – and what works best where – in a very hands on way.
All the big expensive gear and technical jargon – the studio strobes, softboxes, TTL, flash compensation – all that is irrelevant at this stage.
Figuring out how you want your lighting to look is a better place to start than with all the gear.
We will explore what we can easily achieve with very simple and fairly low cost equipment, and train our eyes to make good, solid judgements.
This means we will help each other, improvise a little, embrace happy accidents and have a fun time too!
You will get to shoot your own composition while we all help you with the lighting.
We will use continuous lights so that we can all really see what we are doing while we light some very simple still life subjects to create striking compositions.
