This
two-day workshop is designed for photographers who want to find out about
the endless possibilities of artificial lighting techniques. To light a
subject is to control its representation. From the flickering torch light of
cave painters to Leonardo da Vinci's light room to the use of digital
flash– artificial light sources have been essential for creating images
throughout history.
Combining
presentations on equipment and technique with plenty of hands-on shooting
experience, this class will concentrate on how to evaluate and better use
light for in-studio portraiture and any on location situations you might
encounter. This class will also
cover the technical essentials and common pitfalls of metering for accurate
exposure time, using strobe vs. tungsten lighting, operating modeling lights
and using accessories like softboxes, effect lights and reflectors.
You
will spend time photographing with a model while Rinnhofer demonstrates how
light influences shapes and influences the subject. She will demonstrate a
portrait session with a large format camera and Polaroid back, which all the
students will have a chance to try. No prior lighting experience is
required. You’ll leave this workshop with new abilities and be able to
confidently confront a broad range of lighting situations.
