Step back into the golden age of retro Pin Up photography for a fun, hands-on studio lighting workshop designed to help you build your confidence, understand studio lighting and create great images.
Expect oldies tunes, vintage-inspired outfits, classic Pin Up poses and some seriously fun lighting! We are thrilled to have Ciara Antoski joining us as our model. Ciara is an amazing model, and we are very lucky to have her helping us bring this workshop to life.
### What You'll Learn
Whether Pin Up photography is a new interest or an established passion, this workshop will help you take your studio lighting skills to the next level.
This two-hour, information-packed workshop is limited to only 6 photographers, giving everyone plenty of opportunity to ask questions, experiment with the lighting and get hands-on shooting time.
During the workshop, we will:
1. Explore the equipment
Get a detailed introduction to the studio equipment, modifiers and lighting tools we will be using. We will build and adjust three different lighting setups throughout the workshop.
2. Discover the Old-School Pin Up Look
We'll explore the history and techniques behind classic Pin Up photography, including how older studio spaces, lights and modifiers were used to create that distinctive vintage look. We'll also compare traditional techniques with modern studio lighting tools.
3. Shoot Three Lighting Setups
We will create and photograph three different lighting setups, giving each participant opportunities to shoot, experiment and see firsthand how changing the position, size and direction of the light affects the final image.
## Who Is This Workshop For?
This workshop is suitable for photographers of all skill levels who want to learn more about studio photography and become more comfortable working with professional lighting equipment.
You don't need to be an experienced studio photographer. We'll demonstrate the lighting techniques, explain the equipment and give everyone opportunities to photograph each setup.
We'll also discuss how different modifiers—including reflectors, umbrellas, softboxes, grids, snoots and beauty dishes—can be used to shape and control light.
### Maximum 6 Participants
Keeping the group small means more shooting time, more opportunities to ask questions and more hands-on learning for everyone.
Time is valuable, so we keep our workshops efficient, practical and focused on getting you behind the camera. You'll spend less time standing around and more time learning, shooting and experimenting with light.
