Introduction to Commerical Photography

Introduction to Commerical Photography

Details

Hosted by Paul Castle

A little about myself.........I've been a successful commercial photographer for 25 years. In that time, I've also been an adjunct instructor in photography at The Sage Colleges and St. Rose teaching Photo 1 & 2 and Studio Lighting, for over 15 years. I love to associate with others who love the world of image making as much as I do.

This is the first class of a multi-level training in the art of creating light from scratch to achieve YOUR desired result. Please bring your cameras and possibly (but not completely necessary) your tripods. A confident working knowledge of your camera will be to your great advantage.

This is a class that will explain and demonstrate the principles of LIGHTING in the studio with respect to product, basic still-life and portrait photography. The topics to be discussed are as follows:

The use of "everyday household lights when studio strobes are not available. Controlling light in close quarters. Some basic tools and techniques you can use anywhere. Color of light and how to control, or change it, in a controlled environment. Use of light meters to build the desired contrast ratio, both reflective (in camera) and incident (hand-held). Introduction to studio strobe units and how they are similar and different to on-camera flash units. Please visit my web site for a better understanding of who I am and what I do everyday! www.castlephotographyinc.com (http://www.castlephotographyinc.com/) Two classes will be offered (minimum of 5 with a maximum of 12 people per class). http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/b/b/a/event_204343962.jpeghttp://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/c/5/0/event_204344112.jpeghttp://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/c/9/6/event_204344182.jpeghttp://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/d/3/6/event_204344342.jpeg
