David Arnold - Pro Series - Photography Workshops

Step into the world of multi-light mastery with "My Go-To 2-Light Studio Setups for Models," a workshop designed to help you create professional and polished portraits. Under the guidance of acclaimed photographer David Arnold, you’ll explore three essential lighting setups:

• Look 1: Wrap-Around Lighting – Soften shadows and create an enveloping light that flatters your subject with two well-placed lights.
• Look 2: Gobo Lighting – Introduce creative shadows and patterns with a gobo while maintaining balance with a second fill light.
• Look 3: Rim Lighting – Highlight contours and separate the subject from the background with two strategically placed rim lights.

Each lighting look begins with a 20-minute demonstration and explanation by David, followed by hands-on time for participants to practice with a professional model. The model will change outfits between looks, ensuring a variety of styles for your portfolio.

Unlock the magic of night photography with "Outdoor Night Photography," a workshop focused on capturing captivating portraits after dark. Led by David Arnold, this session explores the interplay of ambient light and creative artificial lighting.

The workshop includes three unique setups, each starting with a 20-minute demo:

• Look 1: Finding Ambient Light – Learn to identify and incorporate existing light sources, such as streetlights or neon signs, for dramatic and atmospheric portraits.
• Look 2: Off-Camera Flash – Use a speedlight or strobe to illuminate your subject while balancing ambient light for dynamic, layered images.
• Look 3: Continuous Lighting – Employ portable LED lights to maintain consistent illumination and add cinematic effects to your shots.

Dive into the world of cinematic lighting with "Continuous Lighting Portraits," a workshop designed to teach you how to create stunning portraits with LED and other constant light sources. David Arnold will guide you through versatile setups that mimic natural light or add dramatic flair.

This workshop features three distinct lighting looks, each beginning with a 20-minute demonstration:

• Look 1: Single LED Softbox – Use a single softbox to mimic natural light, creating flattering and even illumination for portraits.
• Look 2: Colored Gels with Continuous Lights – Add creativity to your portraits by attaching gels to your lights for vibrant, colorful effects.
• Look 3: Light Panel for Cinematic Portraits – Use a broad light panel to create dramatic shadows and depth, achieving a cinematic atmosphere.

Participants will shoot hands-on with a professional model, who will change looks to suit each lighting setup.

Simplify your lighting approach with "Back to Basics: My Go-To One-Light Studio Setups for Models," a workshop designed to help you master impactful portraits with minimal equipment.
This session focuses on three classic one-light setups:

• Look 1: Overhead Lighting – Create dramatic shadows and highlights with a single light placed above the subject.
• Look 2: Side Lighting – Enhance texture and depth using a single light at a 90-degree angle to the subject.
• Look 3: Indirect Lighting (Two Flats) – Bounce light off large reflectors for soft, diffused illumination that flatters any subject.

Each look begins with a 20-minute demo led by David Arnold, where you’ll learn both the technical setup and artistic application of the lighting technique. Following the demo, participants will have hands-on time to practice with a professional model, who will change looks after each setup.
