Learn the Magic of Studio Lighting

Discover how Hollywood created its famous glamour photos of the 1940's. Then learn how to translate those techniques into a modern day studio environment in a small and compact space.

Five fortunate individuals will have the opportunity to experience the magic of studio lighting in the style of Hollywood's Black and White Glamour. And then explore a modern approach.

As an introductory lighting workshop, you will be able to explore various lighting techniques, similar to the that depicted in the featured banner photo above, depicting part of a film strip from the very first photography lighting workshop I taught in 1976 to my colegue Vivitar Engineers. A fascinating story in itself... of early flash photography.

This will be the first of a series of ongoing Lighting Workshops, for 2023. Repeat attendies will be able to build from a solid foundation to learn, basic and advanced lighting techniques and build a portfolio of work.

What you will learn from this lighting workshop:

• Dramating lighting concepts
• Where to place your lights in relation to your subject
• The use of one light and the craft of multiple lights
• How to use a flash light meter to accurately adjust lighting ratios
• A seamless backdrop and its uses in camera and post production
• Setting up a small in-home studio

What to bring:

• Your film based or digital camera
• A normal or portrait lens (35mm camera - Lens 50mm to 105mm)
• Your enthusiam
• Water, juice or soda, a snack or sandwich

Note: All attendies of my Lighting Workshops will have the option to purchase my Coffee Table Book, "Creative Lighting Techniques for Photographers," and apply a $24 discount.

Past attendees of my Arizona based Lighting Workshops, which began in 2010, over 11 years ago, will be delighted to discover that I have reignited the passion and will resume my teaching of lighting workshops on a regular basis. Winter months will cover studio lighting, Spring and Fall will be held outdoors and Summer months will vary from Studio based to our highly requested Mogollon Rim Lighting Workshops.

I sincerely look forward to seeing you at my Chandler Residential Studio for a fun filled and educational day. David Lloyd Certified Professional Photographer.
