In this hands-on event, you will learn the necessary skills to set up, control, shape and craft the light you want for high end results. This is an immersive shooting workshop where you will not only make amazing images for your portfolio, but learn all about the required gear and master the handling and setup for each unique look. Subjects covered include:

• Photographing a professional model in several genres with varying lighting setups ​(you will be amazed at the high quality controlled lighting results)
• Setting up your camera in manual mode for perfect studio results (no manual mode experience required)
• Understanding core light theory (hard vs soft light)
• Controlling "falloff" as a method of lighting single persons, groups, and affecting the light in your background all at the same time
• Making the best choice about the focal length for the shot
• Understanding the light modifiers you can use to design the specific lighting for a shot, and then getting hands-on setup experience
• Controlling the strobes (lights) - all about power, metering, controlling exposure
• Demonstration of a tethered workflow to allow real-time image capture on a computer for greater preview ability when shooting live
• How to use a light meter for precise light measurement of the subject
• Use of umbrellas, strip boxes, octaboxes, softboxes, and speciality professional modifiers for specific shooting applications
• Prior to the event, you will receive preparatory notes. Then, 2-3 weeks following the event, you will receive a comprehensive set of student notes including lighting diagrams for all of the workshop setups, extra information about retouching, a buying guide and a gallery featuring images created during the workshop event

The genres we plan to shoot include simple portraiture, dramatic portraiture, athletic imagery, fashion, and beauty. You will photograph our model in all of these setups.

The workshop is strictly limited to 8 attendees. All you need to participate is your interchangeable lens camera (DSLR or mirrorless). No flash equipment is required, we provide all needed lighting gear.

The cost to attend is $359. Full information is available here: https://cameraschool.ca/lighting-workshop
