David Arnold - Pro Series - Photography Workshops

Unleash the power of light to define and sculpt the human form in "Sculpting the Body: Lighting for Fitness Photography." This workshop is perfect for photographers aiming to highlight muscle tone and body structure through controlled lighting setups.

This session includes three impactful lighting approaches, each introduced with a 15-minute demonstration:

• Look 1: Chiaroscuro Lighting – Create dramatic contrast using a single directional light source to emphasize muscle definition and symmetry.
• Look 2: Rim and Back Lighting – Use rim lighting to outline the subject’s body, separating it from the background while showcasing contours.
• Look 3: Cross-Lighting for Dimension – Position two lights at opposing angles to reveal depth and texture across the subject’s physique.

Participants will have ample time to practice these techniques with a fitness model, who will showcase different poses and outfits to enhance the session’s variety.

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.
